Frequent Art Questions
Please tell me about this chair.
This is a child's chair designed ca. 1890. At this time, children’s furniture was made to resemble miniature versions of adult models. This chair is especially interesting because it has most of its original upholstery. I love the elaborate fringe on the bottom!
