A walnut upholstered armchair in the Baroque style late 19th Century. This piece was originally purchased by the Wishnut galleries in New Orleans in 1969 from a noted New Orleans antiques dealer, Elmo Avet.  Mr. Avet had this in his private collection with other items formerly the property of the politically incorrect--but socially significant--Madame Norma Wallace, a mid 20th century Crescent city "entrepreneur." She later operated a well-known restaurant in New Orleans.
