We have taken this chair as a prop for doll shows for at least the last thirty years and never once did it not manage to provide seating for at least one ( and more often several ) dolls as it neither too big nor small for a myriad of likewise era dolls whose bodies permit bending at hips and knees. Paint decoration is original with typical wear in normal areas of stress. ………US$ 295.

Hard to find antique decorated wooden bench allowing seating of multiple dolls together, depending upon various sizes and abilities to be placed in a seated position, with “gold-ish” paint outer finish to simulate wood graining as opposed to the normal floral or other more typical artwork. The tallest height is in back from floor to center top horizontal curved back rest and is 18 ½” ( 47cm ), 25” ( 64cm ) side to side plank seat, with 8 1 /2” ( 22cm ) maximum width front to back of actual seat. Under the seat panel one can view the actual raw wood grain which has an old red clear stain coating. Of the two wooden stretchers securing the four extreme outer legs at bottom, only one has the matching “ gold grain “ painted technique so most likely, the other could be an old replacement. Great for large to medium-large cloth dolls, or any late 19th-early 20th Century dolls whose bodies are constructed in a safe and secure allowable positioning!!!………………..US$ 475.

A very lovely chair with much thought given in its construction……………US$ 395.
