19th Century Neoclassical Armchair

About the Item

A very elegant and rare 19th century Adam style armchair or desk chair of very generous proportions, newly recovered in splendid Italian archival silk and linen damask, exquisitely finished to perfection with patinated bronze studs. England, circa 1870's. Highly desirable and sought after model. Why we like it We love the scale of this armchair, with its confidently drawn, elegant back; the sculptural, gently curved armrests and the gloriously golden colour of the mahogany. The finely carved ornaments on the crest rail are very rare and unusual. Perfect for occasional seating in a living room as well as a generous desk chair, this beautifully reupholstered armchair is bound to be a statement piece in your home.

Pair of 19th Century Open Armchairs
By Gillows of Lancaster & London

A superb quality pair of open armchairs, after late 18th century designs by Gillows of Lancaster and London, the manufacture attributable to Gillow & Co. English, circa 1880. Why we like them Wonderfully elegant model, looking very delicate but in fact unusually strong – the sign of a skilled craftsman. Interestingly, chairs of this exact model can be seen in a painting by Walter Dendy Sadler (British, 1854-1923), The After Lunch Conversation, 1889, sold at Doyle, New York, 21 May 2024, lot 83. Design These chairs correspond to Gillows’ 'Garforth pattern' - a rare and highly desirable design - which first appeared in 1795 and was probably an adaptation of Georges Jacob's design of circa 1792 for Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet. Gillows made the chairs not only in mahogany but also japanned, and they appear to have been particularly popular among the genteel, professional, and merchant classes in the north of England.
