Description
18" (46 cm.) The wooden chaise a porteur (sedan chair) with bombe-shaped roof is decorated with hand-painted scenes in the Watteau manner on all sides, including roof and back, and with garnishing garlands and scrolls. The front door hinges open to a silk lined interior with tassels and cord edging around the three windows. Excellent condition, a few rubs on the original paintings. French, circa 1875, a rare deluxe model of the 19th century accessory has ormolu brackets holding the original wooden handles.
