VICTORIAN ARM CHAIR JOHN JELLIFF NEWARK
N.J. Fresh from a local home, passed down in one family is this fine example of
American Renaissance Revival seating by the museum quality maker, John Jelliff (
the last photo is of an extremely similar chair currently on view at the
Brooklyn Museum).
All original, American black walnut and burl, featuring the finely carved women
that Jelliff is most known for, turned legs and incised details..The upholstry is
very old, possibly original, totally usable as is. It is uniformly faded, soft
green with matching gimp and quite comfortable. The chair also retains all four
of its original brass casters in good condition. We have lightly cleaned the
fine original finish and retacked the fabric under the seat. The frame is in
very good antique condition with only minor defects along the edges. Circa
1875. 41" H X
28" W X 30" D. Price $1500.00
Item # 4760
