Description: Beautiful Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian armchairs attributed to John Jeliff, Newark, NJ. They have wonderful large deeply open carved top crests. The frames are decorated with carved buttons, incised carvings, and raised burled panels. Notice the vibrant symmetrical grain of the book matched burl! The heads on the arms are the trademark of the Jeliff firm. In "American Furniture of the 19th Century" by Eileen and Richard Dubrow, a sofa on page 181 and table on page 183, both attributed to Jeliff, have the identical carved head motif. The round turned legs end with the original castors. The fabric was put on by a previous owner. It is still in fairly good usable condition. A stunning pair of chairs by one of the most renowned makers of the period! Circa: 1870 Dimensions: 43.5"H x 28"W Finish: Very good original finish with deep rich patina Price: $3650.00 for the pair
