Antique Oak Renaissance Revival Chair — Lion Heads, Claw Feet
This antique oak chair exemplifies the Renaissance Revival style popular in late 19th-century America. The tall backrest features intricate floral and scroll carvings, crowned by finely detailed lion head finials—a motif symbolizing strength and nobility during the Victorian era . The seat and back are upholstered in a more recent patterned fabric, secured with brass nailhead trim, offering both comfort and historical charm. The chair stands on cabriole legs ending in claw-and-ball feet, a design element reflecting the era's fascination with classical motifs . While the maker is unconfirmed, the craftsmanship aligns with pieces attributed to R.J. Horner, renowned for elaborate carvings and robust construction.
Condition:
Good antique condition with sturdy construction. The more recent upholstery remains comfortable and firm. The oak frame exhibits minor scuffs and scratches consistent with age, adding to its authentic character. Please refer to photos for details.
