About the Item
Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this very rare and important pair of lightly restored C Hindley & Son’s Parlor chairs circa 1845 with period hand made Royal Coat of Arms Armorial crests embroidered in to the backrests
Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price
These are a very important and substantial pair of chairs, they come complete with the period castors, one of the chairs is stamped on the inside left leg as follows "C Hindley & Son's 154 Oxford St London" and with the order number of 11223
These chairs are very rare, not only due to the maker but also due to the Embroidery, these would have been made to decorate a parlor or Library, the point of Embroidered panels was for the Ladies of the era to show that they could keep themselves busy and not be a nuisances to the men, could you imagine such a thing today!
The condition is honestly wonderful for the age, I can see some repairs with one of the back legs and the castors have sunk a little from age, all signs of honest age and patina, nothing that affects the use

ABOUT THE CABINET MAKERS
Hindley, Charles & Sons Berners Street & Oxford Street, London; cabinet makers, upholsterers and retailers (fl.c.1820-1892)
Charles Hugh Hindley (b.1792- d.1871) was the son of Christopher, a merchant in Mere, Wiltshire. He moved to London with an elder brother to live with his uncle, who was possibly running the London branch of the Wiltshire business.
In 1817 Charles joined the upholstery firm of Benjamin Merriman Nias at 32 Berners Street. Within a few years he bought the Nias business with a £1,000 investment from his family. Despite his business being described as a 'carpet warehouse' in London directories from 1820-1841, by the mid-1830s upholstery and cabinet work had joined his repertoire and he had taken on more showroom space next door at 31 Berners Street.
Family records of the 1840s showed that individual custom-order business expanded to also ‘supplying established furnishing houses with goods on wholesale terms’. Jobs ranged from supplying Pentonville Prison with 100 hair mattresses and pillows, to altering spring roller blinds, to fulfilling private commissions with suites of parlour furniture.
Hindley was the father of eleven children with three involved in the business: Charles Hugh (b. 1818), Frederick (b. 1820), and Albert Daniel (b.1822). Charles Hugh and Frederick joined the family firm about 1832, thus establishing the family partnership, Charles Hindley & Sons.
