18th Century Wingback Chair in the Irish Manner c. 1765
About the Item
A very fine and extremely rare and large Georgian mahogany wing armchair with blind fretwork carving to both arms and extensive foliate pierced fretwork carving the seat rails with curved carved aprons.
The front legs beautifully carved at knees with acanthus and drop bell husks and set on layered naturalistic lion paw and claw feet. Both rear raked legs with carved borders and scrolls at the foot.
Newly upholstered in a top quality heavyweight silk weave fabric, a c.1900 fabric bought unused on a roll and the pattern of which works fabulously with the carved detailing on the chair.
This is a very large and capaciously comfortable chair of exceptional quality. Extremely heavy and solid with no weakness or movement in the joints and no breaks, repairs or replacements to the show frame other than some very tiny professional repairs to small losses on the carved apron on one side.
Of superb quality and in excellent original condition and by repute, for generations until recently, in a castle in Belgium

17th Century William and Mary Period Oak Armchair c. 1690
Located in Heathfield, GB
A beautifully shaped William and Mary oak armchair with well carved horse-bone legs and arm supports, scrolled feet and handsomely carved front stretcher with S scrolls and geometric motif. The tall upholstered back over spiral turned legs and original spiral and bulb turned stretchers.
In very good condition for age with some small old dings, some old woodworm, long long dead and a couple of small very old repairs - not affecting structure. The chair is extremely comfortable and solid with a good width between the arms, deep well padded seat and gentle rake to the padded back.
Upholstered in a moss green high quality velvet with matching fringed braid in very good condition also.
A really beautiful and rather rare early chair of generous proportions all made by hand in c. 1690.
The oak has developed an excellent dark and rich colour throughout.
A good and honest William and Mary chair...
