Here is a superb quality antique English William IV carved mahogany chaise longue, circa 1835, which has been newly upholstered, in good condition. The chaise features (when facing) a left-hand raised sweeping upholstered arm. The carved moulded back frame, which is also upholstered, sweeps down and terminates on the base of the swab cushion, with a ruched and piped bolster cushion. The chaise boasts a sweeping carved fascia to the front of the arm, with a moulding to the rest of the frieze. The arm and backrest are solid in joint. The chaise has been newly upholstered in top quality pale gold & cream colour chenille floral upholstery, interspersed with floral silk embroidery and finished with matching piping. The swab cushion retains its original horsehair filing; it is therefore heavy, firm and very good quality. The swab cushion has been finished with quality deep buttoning. The underside of the chaise has been traditionally upholstered in hessian backing material. The chaise stands on stunning quality carved cabriole legs.

This chaise features a rich dark red brown mahogany colour. As it boasts the original polish it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. It is impossible to re-create this colour if it has been re-polished.

This item would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the living room or bedroom. The item would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional.
