Antique Hand-Painted Hitchcock Style Chair with Caned Seat

Description :
This beautifully aged Hitchcock-style side chair features an ebonized frame with hand-painted floral stenciling along the crest rail and a classic hand-caned seat. The turned legs and stretchers exhibit traditional 19th-century craftsmanship, while the curved backrest ensures comfort and a graceful profile. The floral motif—muted golds and greens on black—adds warmth and charm, characteristic of New England decorative furniture. The piece shows light wear consistent with age, including edge distressing that enhances its antique appeal.
