Mid-19th Century Gothic Revival English Walnut Reclining Arm Chair
Mid-19th Century Gothic Revival English Walnut Reclining Arm Chair

Mid-19th Century Gothic Revival English Walnut Reclining Arm Chair

Located in Chicago, IL

Invented Circa 1850, the precursor to the modern recliner was initially designed for its versatility: early models could serve as a chair, a bed, and a chaise lounge. This innovation quickly gained popularity for combining comfort with luxury. Napoleon III, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and Emperor of the French, reportedly owned one of the first recliners. This model, constructed in neighboring England during the same era, may even resemble the French monarch’s reclinable chair. Intended for an English drawing room or parlor, this beautiful piece features elegant jacquard upholstery and turned legs. The backrest can extend almost one-hundred-eight degrees from an upright position, facilitated by a graceful manual mechanism similar to the ratcheting recline...

Late 19th c. Oil on Board by Johann Georg Meyer Van Bremen (German, 1813 - 1886)

By Johann Georg Meyer Von Bremen

Located in Chicago, IL

This small and exquisite 19th-century oil on cardboard titled “Reading to Mother” by Johann Georg Meyer von Bremen depicts a gentle interior scene with a young boy attentively reading to a woman, presumably his mother. They sit at a small table; the woman rests in a chair with a large pillow, her gaze distant. The painting is nested in a statement giltwood frame, signed "Meyer von Bremen" lower right. The frame is a neoclassical Louis XVI-style gilt frame with bellflower trim on the top edge, guilloche detailing on the back edge, ribbon trims, and a fluted cove. Oil paintings on cardboard gained popularity in the late 19th century, offering a convenient and affordable alternative to canvas for artists and enabling greater artistic experimentation. Many renowned artists explored this medium. Artists often prepared oil on paper with a layer of primer or gesso to create a stable surface and prevent the oils from soaking directly into the paper. Johann Georg Meyer von Bremen, commonly known as Meyer von Bremen (1813-1886), was a German genre painter specializing in Biblical, peasant, and family scenes. He was a pupil of the Düsseldorf Academy, where he largely painted religious and historical subjects. In 1840, after traveling in Bavaria and Switzerland, he began to develop pleasant genre scenes focused on incidents from popular life, especially among the Hessian peasantry, and the portrayal of childhood and family for which he became known. He spent the remainder of his career in Berlin, becoming a Professor at the Academy in 1863. He was also a member of the Amsterdam Academy and the Order of Leopold...
