Description This is a hand carved high chair with unicorns carved into the back of the high chair. It has a tray that secures with a latch under the tray. The tray swings back over the back of the high chair to form a toddler chair, so one can pull it to the table and have a toddler sit in it at a table. The chair has a foot rest. It has been used. This high chair is quite unusual,as I have never seen one like it in all my years.

This is a pretty typical Colonial Revival style " Pressback" highchair. They date from the turn of the 19th Century. They were a very hot item during the late 1980's , but values have declined for them since then. Today at auction most sell for under $150.00. Lovejoy
