PLEASE NOTE:...I will work with a buyer on shipping this item IF you wish to arrange for a shipper to pick it up. I no longer have any local outlets to ship items not accepted by the USPS. From a Baltimore estate...all the items were inherited and put in long time storage in Carmel Valley, CA....I purchased it from the family 30+ years ago.This is a wonderful pierce carved Victorian rosewood chair. Circa 1850, and a very good quality maker. It has the original ebonized finish, and the oral provenance on the needlepoint upholstery is that it was done in 1904. It retains the original horse hair and/or straw stuffing. The carved rose floral design is reminiscent of Belter\'s \"Rosalie Without Grapes\" pattern...but slightly diffferent at the crest, and there is PIERCE work between the roses to each edge of the center crest and the last roses on each side of the crest...it is the stem of a rose vine...it is difficult to see the pierce work in the photos due to the DARK finish on the chair. This chair is VERY HEAVY....it has a great period design.....a real mid-Victorian treasure. MEASURES:......it is 38\" tall at the top of the back crest and 19\" across at the widest point at the front of the seat.......CONDITION:..........the chair is complete and in very good condition. Original finish....the front left leg is slightly loose...it was glued years ago and again by me at one time, but it needs another gluing after my move from CA. There are 2 very minor wood sliver areas at this same leg that were re-glued years ago. NO wood filler, carved additions, or additional gluing that I can find anywhere. The upholstery is in very good condition. Two very small and MINOR spots on the seat edge. The needlepoint will clean and be much brighter. The edge is missing a few of the upholstery tacks. PLEASE...email ANY questions you may have before offerding.....I am happy to answer. SHIPPING:...I checked pickup only.....but if you want to arrange shipping from your end, please contact me. I can offer free long term storage if the buyer wishes to pick up this item at a later date.....>>>>NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
