Sculptural 19th Century Horn Chair with Footstool

About the Item

A sculptural armchair and matching footstool from the late 19th century, artfully assembled from the curving forms of American cattle horns. At once delicate and dramatic, the chair has a captivating silhouette of sloping lines and sinuous curves, guided by the natural taper of the black-tipped steer horns. Recently refreshed with black-and-white wool upholstery. Furniture and objects fashioned from cow horn became popular in the United States in the latter half of the 1800s, with unusual designs that spurred the imagination and evoked the spirit of the pioneering west. Such horn furniture was typically crafted in states along historic cattle trails, such as Texas, Kansas and Illinois, where proximity to stockyards provided an abundance of material. Chair is fragile and recommended only as a sculptural object. Additional Dimensions: Foot Stool: 13"W x 13"D x 8.5"H Chair Seat: 17"H
