Antique Quartersawn Oak Armchair by Buffalo Chair Works

Item Details

It is raised on cabriole legs with paw feet, with a double arched apron between them, and connected by an H-stretcher. The upholstery over the seat covers a hole, perhaps originally caned. It retains a pasted paper tag by the manufacturer to the base. Includes a pillow in the same forest green and burgundy upholstery as the seat.
