Georgian Armchair Green Leather Seat, English Hepplewhite circa 1785

About the Item

This is a good quality English armchair from the George III, Hepplewhite period, made circa 1785. The hardwood, possibly red walnut, frame has a camel back with a well carved central vase shaped splat featuring Prince of Wales plumes. The arms are beautifully curved and down-swept. The seat has generous proportions and has a serpentine (front curved) shape covered in a dark green leather. The front and rear legs are tapered and have a central and rear leg cross-stretcher. This is a very comfortable and elegant armchair and would make an ideal desk or library chair. The proportions, color and patination are really good and typical of a period English 18th century, Georgian Armchair.

  • Fine Georgian Extending Dining Table D Ends with Two Leaves, English, circa 1785
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a high quality English extending dining table made from hardwood, in the period of George III, during the late 18th century, circa 1785. This table will seat 10 people on account of its large width of over 54 inches plus the semi circular ends. It has two D-ends ( semi circular) each having four legs, the two outer ones being fixed and fluted and the two inside ones being gated, swinging out to support the leaves when required. There are two additional leaves. The tops and legs are solid hardwood, with all the legs being square tapered, ending in carved spade feet, with what look to be the original brass castors. The edges to the table top are horizontally reeded and the curved side under-frames are veneered. This is a very versatile dining table. The D-ends can be used separately as pier tables or joined together to form a circular table. The table can be easily extended, using either one or both leaves as required. When fully extended with the two leaves inserted the piece forms a large elegant dining table, capable of seating ten people, the sections clipping together with six brass clips. The color and patina of this table is superb, having a rich patina, only possible with over 200 years of repeated polishing. For similar 18th C. Extending dining tables see the book; British Antique Furniture by John Andrews, published by the Antique Collectors' Club. Overall this is a fine English 18thC Georgian dining table.
