Antique, Very Useful, Very Primitive Doll Chair gift for lover but a 1893 charcoal drawing

but a 1893 charcoal drawing surely rolled up and carried around many a time seems as if it should should show some wear

given the poem on one side

and with a shimmer to the chenille quite evocative of reverse glass tinsel paintings too

The surface of the wood is beautifully aged with plenty of scrapes scratches and stains

Antique, Very Useful, Very Primitive Doll Chair gift for lover but a 1893 charcoal drawingI like the form of this old chair, and that not quite symmetrical peaked back, and the knots in the wood, and the simple, sturdy construction. And all sorts of things sit in and on it well, with the high back a good support to lean against. 5 3 8 w x 6 5 8 t x 3 7 8 d. Late 19th c. or so, I believe and in good, very sturdy condition.
