A mid 19th century (circa 1850) Anglo Indian carved padouk open armchair, probably from the Bombay region, with strong influences of English Regency furniture designs.

This leads down to the scroll arms with foliate carving to the arm supports with a cane seat, the front and side seat rails with floral and foliate carved decoration with small shaped lower brackets.

The armchair is supported by cabriole legs to the front with acanthus carved decoration with unusual scroll design to the back terminating with carved paw feet and outswept legs to the back.

The chair can be used as it is or seat pads or cushions can be added for more comfort, the seat pads shown are for photographic purposes only and are not included with the chair.
