Chippendale 18th Century Mahogany Carver Armchair

About the Item

A Superb Quality 18th Century Chippendale Period Mahogany Carver Armchair, Of Rare Bold Proportion, Having Exceptionally Rich Carved Decoration To Elegant Pierced Splat Back, Over Scrolling Moulded Arms And Old Needlework Tapestry Seat, Raised On Square Chamfered Legs & Stretchers. A fantastic quality and elegant mid 18th century desk chair which is constructed from the richest possible mahogany timbers and boasting incredibly crisp carved decoration. This chair also boasts unusually large proportions and has real presence and importance to it. Very much fit for purpose there is no significant historic damage to speak of, just the expected old scrapes, scuffs, scratches and digs which have of course blended in beautifully over time, adding to the overall richness of the colour and patina. It is also nice to find an old needlework covering which, whilst we cannot guarantee is original to the chair, is certainly very old and really adds to it. There is a strong possibility that it is the original covering of course, we just can't be certain. Overall that tapestry is in good condition, a little worn in places but not worn through, and overall a little dusty, although a good steam clean has really brightened it up now. As with all items we offer for sale the chair has been inspected at our workshops by our highly skilled, traditionally trained, antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish, ensuring that it is ready to place immediately into the home or office, before being offered for sale. Circa 1760. Height 38in. Width 28in. Depth 24in. Seat Height 18.5in.

  • Pair of 18th Century Chippendale Mahogany Library Armchairs
    Located in London, GB
    An important pair of mid-18th century Chippendale period mahogany Library Armchairs, having unusual carved and scrolled cartouche-shaped backs, with scroll moulded set-back arms. The Chairs having stuffover seats with gadrooned borders, supported on blind fret carved cabriole legs with scrolled toes. For similar examples see Chippendale's Director, 'French Chairs' Plate XXI Further information: Similar examples of our Library Armchairs can be found in the third edition of Thomas Chippendale book Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director (1762). The pair resembles the right chair design in Plate XXI, catalogued by Chippendale as “French Chairs”. He described in his book that this model “may be executed to advantage, some of them are intended to be open below at the back: which makes them very light without having a bad effect.’ His design illustrates his familiarity with the fashionable French Rococo style represented by the curvilinear form of the chair and scrolled feet. The carved surface decoration on our Chairs is much less elaborate than that on the published design and is more reminiscent of the work of Robert Manwaring...
