Fine Philadelphia Chippendale Walnut Armchair

third quarter 18th century, the shaped crest rail with scroll-carved ears and a central shell, the curved and shaped arms with pronounced knuckle-roll hand grips, the scalloped seat apron with a shell-carved front, raised on cabriole legs with shell-carved knees and ending in ball-and-claw feet.
h. 41-1/2"

In very good condition. There is a small loss to the underside of the knuckle roll on the proper right arm. Minor shrinkage at the joints. Structurally very sturdy, including the arms. Great surface and overall warm patina.
