We are moving in a couple weeks and can’t take this item with us, so make me an offer asap! This chair is a late Victorian parlor chair, likely dating from the 19th century. The design incorporates elements of the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized beauty and artistic expression in everyday objects. The use of carved wood, particularly the shell or fan motif on the crest rail, was a common decorative element during this period. These chairs were often used in parlors or drawing rooms as accent pieces, providing both seating and visual interest. The upholstered seat, often in a contrasting fabric, added to the chair's comfort and aesthetic appeal. The curved arms and legs, along with the decorative back, reflect the emphasis on elegance and refinement that characterized furniture design during this era. Based on the style and craftsmanship, local antique dealer estimates the value at $300-400 USD. Make me a reasonable offer! Must pickup up, located in inner SE Portland
