Victorian Carved Mahogany Armchair, third quarter 19th century, in the Irish Georgian taste, the shaped eagle-carved crest above an oval paneled splat with side eagle's claw carving, joined by shaped arms on eagle-head uprights to the padded scalloped seat, raised on cabriole legs headed by foliate mask carving and ending in ball-and-claw feet, h. 39-1/2".

Some looseness in the frame, as well as some separation at the glue joints. The bird at top left side of crest rail has losses to both the upper and lower "beak". Scattered veneer loses, numerous surface scratches, nicks and chipping throughout. Glue residue and evidence of repair where the arms join the back as well as where the arm supports meet the arms. Scattered alligatoring to finish as well as a possible later gloss top coat. The seat retaining what appears to be its original frame.
