Product description
This hand-carved chair dates to the late 19th century and originates from Europe. It reflects historicist decorative traditions, combining mythological imagery with sculptural woodworking typical of the period.
The backrest is richly carved with a central siren figure flanked by fish forms, mascaron motifs, and flowing volute lines. Fine details such as scales, facial features, and ornamental reliefs are executed entirely by hand. The seat is upholstered in leather.
The chair is a fully original period piece, not a later reproduction. It shows an authentic surface patina consistent with age and use and can function both as seating and as a decorative or collectible object.
