This is a wonderful and RARE antique CHILD'S WICKER RECLINING MORRIS CHAIR in completely original and as-found condition.  It is a child-size version of an adult wicker Morris-style chair, which is also rare.  A Morris chair is an early type of reclining chair, first marketed around 1866.  We estimate this chair to date from about 1890 to 1900.  Underneath the seat, it still has its original label which reads Carriage & Toy Co. Baltimore, Md  No 432.  This child's wicker chair could possibly have been a photographer's chair, used by a photographer for taking photographs of children seated in the chair.  This child's chair is wonderful; the wicker, dark red/burgundy original upholstery, and wood finials are beautiful.  All four brass tips on the feet are original, as is the reclining hardware.  This chair reclines in four positions, by placing the rod through slots in the hardware.  There is still a decorative silk thread cord with three tassels, all original to the chair, remaining, though the fourth tassel missing.  One of the six original buttons in the back of the seat is missing and there are two small tears. This wicker chair is still in very good condition for its 100+ years of age and is beautiful!  The chair measures 29" tall x 20" wide x 19" deep.  There is a reasonable reserve on this RARE wicker child's reclining chair.  No second chance  offers.  If you love antique wicker, antique childrens' collectibles, this is for you!!!
