Featured Old Chair (maybe Georgian) any info apreciated.

Hi everyone, I picked up this old chair at an auction, nobody was bidding on it, so I jokingly offered £5, everyone laughed, but not as much as me when I won.

I bought it because I liked it, not because it was a fiver, and it fills a corner in a room, but out of interest, does anyone recognise it, am I sitting on a £5 chair well worth its money or is it an antique that needs swapping for a lovely new comfy sofa It has had a bit of work done on it as you can see from the pictures of the underside.

 

I think early 20th century with secessionist influence.

 

Looks like it was made for a larger person ,doesnt it ? I love the lines.

 

I agree, Secessionist style, could even be genuine Secessionist (Vienna, Austria).
A great chair, but nothing Georgian about it.

 

Yes I agree, it certainly suits me ha ha

 

Made for someone who eats a lot of Kaiserschmarrn.

 

That looks so tasty! I can feel my chair getting smaller just looking at it.

 

Oh wow! I just looked up the recipe! Sounds so good!

 

Tastes good too, I used to eat that a lot when I was in Vienna. It is best with that apricot sauce.

 

I adore that stuff. We had an Austrian Jewish restaurant close by for many years. They did it with a blackcurrant sauce. The best schnitzel too. Spinach done with cream and nutmeg.

 

Oh and I think the chair is late 19th, well worth a fiver.

 

@Bleazy So sorry that I can't help with the chair, but I am going to try that Austrian recipe!!

TY AJ!

 

What a wonderful find! Enjoy!
