About

Add charm and multi-functional appeal to your collection with this elegant antique French baby toddler high chair mounted on an integrated table base. Crafted in France circa 1870, the piece is constructed from solid walnut and displays a rich, honey-toned patina developed over time. The horseshoe-shaped back, sides, and seat are fitted with the original hand-woven cane, providing comfort, breathability, and enduring visual warmth. Thoughtfully designed for both practicality and refinement, the chair includes a removable and adjustable wooden footrest, along with a swing-away wooden safety arm bar—secured with turned pegs—that once held a tray or offered support for a small child. Classic Louis Philippe details include turned arm supports, gently splayed saber legs, and a lower stretcher with intersecting baluster-style elements, adding both strength and decorative flair. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with minor wear that highlights its authenticity and period character. A rare and charming piece—ideal for a traditional interior or ready to welcome visiting grandchildren at grandma’s house. 15.5″W x 20″D x 37.5″H
