Art nouveau or arts and crafts wingback chair

Here we have a wonderful art nouveau or arts and craft chair attributed to gustave serrurier-bovy or his surroundings... There is some debate amongst the scholars if this chair belongs to the art nouveau ( sometimes referred to as jugendstil or as one might say in belgium, de nieuwe kunst ), or arts and crafts period. As it has been attributed to gutave serrurier-bovy or his surroundings arts and crafts is certainly possible as the artist was heavily influenced by british designer william morris. There has also been an expert who feels the chair belongs more to the glasgow school ( 1890-1910 ). The chair obviously has been reupholstered as one can see from the pics. There is also a thin crack in the base of the chair which does not effect it's stability in any way but could be fairly easy fixed in one desires so. For further nicks and damages please see all pics. We are in contact with some very professional restorers so if you would like to have some work done please feel free to send us a message. Ps the ottoman is certainly included extra ( 38 by 22 by 22 ).
