This wonderful old green painted, distressed wood armchair has a seat that is just to die for! It is hand-stitched crewel embroidery with beautiful, even, perfect stitches all over the natural color, fine linen fabric. There are actually three layers of linen fabric, one over the other, on the seat of this chair. I have been tempted to remove the top crewel embroidered fabric to see if there's another one under that, in which case I would frame the top piece to use on my wall and then decide whether to take off that middle linen seat to see what the innermost cover looks like but at this time, I will leave that treasure hunt to the new owner. The fourth photo shows a corner of the underside of the seat, showing the three layers of fabric and the three rows of nails that secure each layer.



The soft, eye-pleasing green paint is crackled and distressed, giving wonderful character. The wood is solid and the chair is in good condition, ready for another hundred years of loving use.
