19th Century French Queen Chair.

The white painted caopied frame with gilt highlights, carved roses and trailing leaves, supported by spirally reeded, round tapering feet. Newly upholstered in gold fabric, back and front.These types of chairs are very rare - sometimes called hall porter chairs. However, in this instance,we think 'Queen chair' is more appropriate.
