AMERICAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL WALNUT PARLOR CHAIRS, C. 1870, PAIR:In the manner of John Jeliff (1813-1893), each has a shaped, upholstered back with a medallion crest above an upholstered seat flanked by padded open arms with female mask supports, raised on turned legs ending in casters. From the estate of Edward P. Frohlich, Grosse Pointe Farms.

Refinished condition with new upholstery. Light scratches overall; a 1" crack at the medallion crest of one chair. The crack starts in the escutcheon plate and goes into the neck of the medallion. The crack is approx. 1/4" deep. There is also a 1/2" crack at the nose of this same medallion. There are some areas of the wooden frame, along the sides of the back upholstery, that are missing small pieces of veneer. But they were finished over when the chairs were refinished. So they are not noticeable, unless you are looking for them. The chairs are sturdy. Chs/TW 12-09-16
