This is very uncommon. Add a double tripod base and the use of solid mahogany and you will understand that the quality of the furniture is very real. Very functional and excellently made 19th century English furniture is particularly well represented here. DID YOU KNOW ? : the English Victorian style (1830-1900) is one of the longest in the history of furniture styles. The long reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) coincided with an era of prosperity during which the artisanal and industrial production of furniture gave rise to a very eclectic reissue of the styles of the past. Mahogany, walnut and beech are used as solid wood, ebony as veneer. Bamboo and rattan are used to make garden furniture. The gilded and chiseled bronzes are produced industrially. Casters almost always finish the front legs of the seats.
