A scarce and functional relic from the U.S. Civil War era.
This original 19th-century campaign folding chair remains an outstanding example of military utility furniture used by officers and field staff during wartime encampments. It retains its original patterned cloth seat—about 95% intact—showing light moth wear but fully functional. These chairs were often privately purchased and valued for their portability and relative comfort in rough field conditions.
Used in officer quarters, command tents, and makeshift medical stations, this rare surviving piece is not only practical but rich in wartime provenance. Its folding wooden frame remains structurally sound, making it an ideal addition to any Civil War memorabilia collection.

- ~95% intact original cloth seat with decorative design
