Featured A lovely world of brown: More Victorians.

Hello everyone, a few in my last thread I made were happy to see some of my other pieces so I'll share another 3 V These 3 specifically because I had then restored and reupholstered in various forms of 19th century fabric.


Pictures 1 and 3 share the same fabric. It is a 19th century French crettone, originally a curtain I think. Style reminds me of Henri II. Had some left over so we did the chair. That chair appears to be a simple Eastlake but those arches and floral are strongly Renaissance as well

Picture 2 is a chair I'm unsure what type of chair it is or what style. The fabric is quite arts and crafts I would say like a William Morris Style. Chair is lined with cotton and filled with straw.

Thanks for letting me share. I tried to get a better picture of the Jacobean revival settle but my cat is a former feral which is quite territorial to that bench oddly enough .

 

Having a devil of a time uploading the last image of the other chair of the pair. Shame really.

 

Are you uploading from an iphone?

 

Nay I think it's just too old a photo. I will try to take new one sometime .

I found the reason, its 2 MB, so too large to post evidently. It won't decompress either.

 

Beautifully reupholstered!

 

Love that settee !

 

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

 

Appreciate that! Would you know what type of chair picture number 2 is? Are the arms oak? Picture number 1 is Walnut do you think?

 

I acquired a Chippendale chair (with provenance) after great effort. Cosette, the bigger one in my avatar, immediately took it over.

 

I've added the other chair! Thank you in advance to the moderator for attaching it for me. This is probably my favourite of the fabrics. I get a bit of a Gothic tone from it but it's probably Henri II again like the other one.

 

Is it just me that sees in your 2nd photo, the body of a woman? If you attached a head at the top of that middle stripe, there she would be. Very nice Furniture.

 

I saw that too. There is a word for that! It may come to me sometime.

 

See if this helps

 

if not the body...at least.....a woman's vintage dress !!!

 

Chair 1 is walnut with a bit of walnut burl veneer accent. Can't tell much about chair 2. I get a Turkish vibe from it. Wood might be elm. Can we see a pic of the whole chair and a profile?

 

No problem! Unsure what profile means actually though. Uploaded 3 more. You can see on the back where I ran out of the arts and crafts fabric haha.

 

Profile = side view. Seems more British colonial once I see the whole thing. Rather like this and seems like it would be quite comfy.

 

Do those arms of the chair have a name to them? I always thought they looked peculiar. Many thanks. Also I'm having a difficult time differentiating oak from Elm. Will change in time I hope
