Description

Wolf-Head Carved Chair from Universal Studios "Even a man who is pure in heart, and says his prayers by night..." would find it a thrill to sit on (or simply admire) this wolf-headed chair, a relic from the prop warehouse at Universal City, California, site of Hollywood's most hallowed horror classics. This baroque chair has great gothic style, festooned with a wolf 's head on each of its back posts, and was used in one of Universal's not-yet-identified vintage melodramas. The leather upholstery on the back and seat has engraved flowers (wolfsbane, perhaps?) and there are brass studs along the sides of the seat and back frame. The chair is 36" tall and has a two-inch tear (a bite mark, perhaps?) on the 16" seat, otherwise it is in Very Fine condition. We dare you to sit in this awesome artifact "...when the wolfsbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright!"
