A carved walnut desk armchair Louis XV, circa 1750

Good overall condition. There is some old worm damage to the rails particularly at the back. There are minor losses to carving throughout consistent with age and use. There is a small break in the carving top of left hand front leg. The leather seat is torn and stained. The back left hand panel is torn. The scale is large. Overall an attractive chair.
