The splat is carved with neo-classical detailing of swags, flowerhead, acanthus scrolls and husks. The pierced spindle filled back and sides with short outswept arms are above a moulded saddle shaped seat and supported on cabriole legs joined by stretchers and terminating in pad feet. The chair is stamped to the underside with chair maker's initials G.E.

  • Large Early 19th Century Painted and Silkwork Picture 'The Good Samaritan'
    Located in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
    The picture retains its original gilt frame. The image is rendered in a mixture of silkwork and hand painted decoration and depicts the injured traveler on the roadside being aided by the Samaritan while the Levite and the Priest are seen in the distance. This parable is told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?" This work is vastly bigger than 19th century silkwork pictures...
