About the Item

A striking Gothic Revival oak armchair attributed to Charles Bevan and dating to c. 1870. The back with canted angles, carved and ebonised dog tooth carvings to the arch and circular piercing to the corners, the lower rail with a line of larger pierced circles, the armrests terminating in well carved scrolls and uprights above a cover-over seat raised on an unusual geometric style leg design with further further dog tooth carvings and with through tenon details, the ends of which with carved shaped ends. This is a very distinctive and stylish chair with a similar feel to Charles Bevan's registered reclining chair made under licence by Marsh, Jones and Cribb. In good original condition, some wear to the back edges of the finials, the arms and feet with some fading and loss of polish from use. Comfortable soft seat recovered over at some point with a tasteful tapestry effect material. A good example of original Aesthetic/Arts & Crafts design and craftsmanship.

He was associated with the Aesthetic Movement and the Gothic Revival style and his work was undeniably influenced by the renowned architect and furniture designer, John Pollard Seddon, who it is suspected he trained under, with strong similarities found in Bevan's geometric decorations and designs. His skill as a woodcarver and cabinetmaker are documented in catalogues and periodicals of the time and are also displayed in collections at the V&A in London. His collaborated with some of the best furniture manufactures of the period, including Gillows, Holland & Sons, J.P. Seddon, and Marsh & Jones of Leeds - later known as Marsh, Jones & Cribb. During his time established at 66 Margaret Street, the London showrooms of Marsh & Jones of Leeds, Marsh & Jones were the exclusive manufacturers of Bevan’s ‘Registered’ reclining chair, as confirmed by an advertisement in The Building News of August 1865. Bevan’s work with Marsh & Jones also led to a commission for an extensive collection of pieces for the home of Sir Titus Salt, a Yorkshire-based mill owner. This collection, which includes an elaborate Medieval-style bedroom suite and a marquetry grand piano, is currently housed in Leeds City Art Galleries, Temple Newsam House, preserving much of Bevan's work from the years 1865-72. In 1867, at the Paris Exposition, Bevan presented a commission for James Lamb of Manchester, featuring a bookcase, alongside his design companion Bruce Talbert. He became a familiar name in the London International Exhibitions, appearing three consecutive years from 1871-73.
