Hand Crafted Rococo style order hand built chair, unique item. Could be used for a child or for a doll, or a beautiful decoration in it's own right. I believe it is built from Cherry Wood.
This chair is very distinctive of Chippendale construction:
* Dark hardwood finish, built from quartered cut wood
* Soft upholstered seat
* Cabriole legs
* Ball and Claw feet
* Yoked shaped top railing
All of these features show the great detail that went into this item. Chippendale furniture is an American design originating in the 16th century. It is characterized by the style of the legs and feet and is frequently made of a dark colored wood, such as Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry and sometimes Maple was used . There are influences from the Queen Ann style, as well as ancient Chinese design; the Chippendale aesthetic has stood the test of time as it has continued to be a part of interior design since its inception.
American furniture crafted in the Chippendale style was named after London cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale's work in the mid-1700s. He became quite famous in his day after publishing The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, a guide for constructing a variety of furniture pieces.
