19th Century Regency Painted Armchairs
About the Item
An elegant pair of painted open armchairs from the early 19th century English Regency era, exquisitely hand-painted to simulate exotic timber and decorated with neoclassical festive ribbons, garlands, and a Greek key (meander) border on the seat rails.
THREE PAIRS of matching side chairs are currently available.
Why we like them
Elegant and refined, the design of these elbow chairs reflects the late Georgian taste for lightweight and slender furniture, inspired by archaeological findings in Italy. This style was popularized by British designer Thomas Sheraton and earlier by the architects Adam brothers. These graceful chairs are comfortable, well-proportioned, and will suit both traditional and eclectic interiors. A squab cushion can be made to order.
Condition
Sturdy and ready for use, newly traditionally hand-caned. The decoration has been refreshed at some point in the past and has now areas of natural wear. Both chairs are in remarkable condition for their age, with expected signs of wear expected of genuine antique pieces.

Pair of 19th Century Open Armchairs
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in Richmond, 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. In 1796, the Earl of Strafford purchased six white and green japanned chairs for Wentworth Woodhouse...
