Tufted Cane Armchair Appraisal

Tufted Cane Armchair

This is a vintage or antique upholstered armchair, likely from the Mid-20th Century or earlier, exhibiting characteristics of traditional or possibly Queen Anne style given the curved cabriole legs. The chair features a dark, rich wood frame with a glossy finish that appears to be mahogany or a similar dark hardwood. The backrest is tall and features a deep tufted upholstery in a striped fabric, with alternating stripes of what appear to be light beige/cream and a muted olive green or taupe. The tufting buttons are visible and complement the fabric. The side panels of the backrest and the arms incorporate woven cane webbing, showing intricacy and attention to detail in their construction. There is faint wear visible on the wooden armrests where hands would frequently rest, indicating usage and age, but no apparent major damage like cracks or breaks. The seat cushion is upholstered in the same striped fabric as the backrest, suggesting a cohesive design. The cushion shows some slight flattening consistent with use, but no significant tears or unraveling of the fabric. The overall craftsmanship suggests a well-made piece, likely factory-produced but with quality materials and assembly. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures, though these could be present on the underside or less visible areas.
