Victorian Eastlake Carved Walnut His and Hers Parlor Chairs in the John Jelliff Style – Pair

An elegant pair of late 19th-century Victorian parlor chairs featuring richly carved walnut frames and original olive-green upholstery. The complementary proportions pair a tall, generously scaled armchair with a smaller companion chair, creating the traditional “his and hers” arrangement.

Deep diamond-tufted backs sit within elaborate carved surrounds featuring scrolling ornament, incised detailing, decorative finials, and central portrait medallions. The warm walnut tones beautifully complement the green upholstery, while shaped arms, turned front legs, and small casters complete their distinctive period silhouettes.

A striking pair for a library, sitting room, or collected interior. Sold together.
