Description
This is an original Heywood Wakefield wicker chair, probably made 1897-1900. It still retains its original label but the label is acidic and hard to read. The design and detail of this low slipper-like chair is outstanding. It has a cane seat, elaborate fancy work, and closely-woven back scroll designs. The chair is in excellent condition and is stable. It has a heavy coat of white paint.
