The Scarlet Velvet Eastlake-Style Side Chair
This chair has presence.
A vintage Eastlake-style side chair in dark walnut-toned wood, with a seat of deep scarlet velvet. It is small and upright, made for a corner, a desk or a dressing table, and it carries more detail than chairs twice its size.
Look closely at the back. The crest rail rises to a stepped pediment and a turned finial, set between two small burl-figured panels and finished with round bosses at each corner. Below it, a single vase-shaped splat is incised with fine scrolls and hearts and ends in a pointed shield. The same incised line work runs across the front apron, framed by square corner blocks carved with a crossed pyramid.
The front legs are turned with a carved collar, then fluted and tapered down to small turned feet. Turned spindle stretchers tie the legs together, and the back legs splay gently behind.
Set it in an entry with a stack of books, pull it up to a writing desk, or let it stand alone against a plain wall. That red velvet against dark carved wood brings warmth and a little drama to any room.
In good vintage condition. The velvet is original-looking and softly worn, with crushing and some fading. The wood shows honest wear, including a worn patch on the back splat and small chips along the apron. Offered at the Organic Erotic exclusive price of $210.
