The cast-metal frame features a pierced three-panel back with repeating foliate and scroll decoration, graceful open arms, a molded apron and six slender cabriole-style legs terminating in sculptural feet.

A cream and muted-gold patterned upholstered seat provides a lovely contrast to the dark aged surface of the metal.

Designed at doll scale rather than for human seating, this unusually detailed miniature makes a wonderful display piece for an antique or vintage doll collection, cabinet of curiosities, dressing room, bookshelf or collected interior.

No maker’s mark has been identified. Its elaborate design draws upon traditional Georgian and Victorian furniture forms; the precise maker and date of manufacture remain unknown. See less
