This is an antique late 19th century to early 20th century reclining "Morris" style chair that is done in the Victorian manner with Empire influences, having a bombastic large form. This is in no way, shape or form related to the Chippendale style. Morris chairs are named such because of the reclining element and the heavy wide arms. The estimate factors in the condition and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
