We are pleased to be offering today this beautiful renaissance burl walnut with gold incise carving lady’s slipper chair made by John Jelliff of Philadelphia back in the 1870s era.

It has a beige fabric background that has minor staining. The fabric is in good usable condition. The chair is stunning with gold incise carving throughout, fluted reeded gold incise legs retaining the original castors and being a boudoir chair this chair has a slight slant to the front legs like they are supposed to.
