This 1890s Victorian saddle seat arm chair is a striking and heavily carved piece, perfect for an entry hall, fireplace accent, or any spot that needs a bold antique statement.
Crafted from solid mahogany in its original finish, this chair features deeply carved lion heads on both top posts, matching floral and clam shell details along the arms and stretcher, and a curved saddle seat that makes it as functional as it is beautiful. The bold scale and flowing carved lines give it a crossover appeal that leans into Art Nouveau design territory.
