17th Century Charles II Carved Oak Wainscot Armchair

About the Item

A superb and original carved Wainscot armchair, circa 1660. Yorkshire This superb Wainscot chair dates from the middle of the 17th century and is most likely from the Leeds area of Yorkshire, with a large lozenge-designed panel to the back and carved crest rail. Raised on turned gun barrel legs, each joined by moulded horizontal stretchers. What is most unusual about this fine example, besides its superb condition, is the detailed carving of the frieze, not only to the face but also to the sides. It should be noted that the chair has the most wonderful deeply patinated surfaces throughout and is of fantastic colour.

  • 17th Century Charles II Month Going Marquetry Longcase Clock by John Wise
    Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
    A superb Charles II month duration floral marquetry longcase clock by the well-known maker John Wise, c. 1680-85. Measure: 10". The case is of the highest quality and decorated throughout in very attractive floral marquetry depicting spring flowers and birds showing a high level of sophistication with a glazed circular lenticle to the door. Similarly, the rising hood is decorated with blind frets around the top and surmounted by a shallow caddy decorated by five gilt wooden ball finials. It is flanked by prominent gilt brass-capped solid barley twist columns, with blind fretted panels to the sides. The month-going nicely finned and knopped five pillar movement has reversed going and striking trains, the striking train (on the right) being regulated by a small outside countwheel. The going train has anchor escapement and a seconds pendulum. The movement is fronted by a 10-inch brass dial with an unusual narrow silvered chapter ring, seconds ring and date aperture. It has elaborate cherub-head spandrels in the corners and is signed along the bottom John Wise Londini Fecit. The middle is finely matted, whilst the time is indicated by a fine pair of blued-steel hands, the hour hand richly pierced. The maker John Wise was born in Banbury shortly before 17 March 1624, the date of his baptism. He was the son of John and Ann Wise and a cousin of Joseph Knibb...
