Mahogany Chippendale 18th Century Armchair
About the Item
A Good Quality 18th Century, Chippendale Period, Georgian Mahogany Desk Chair, Or Armchair, Having Attractive Pierced And Shaped Splat To Back, Over Scrolling Arms And Drop In Seat With Old Needlework Tapestry Cover, Raised On Square Moulded Legs.
This chair dates to the Chippendale period of the 18th century and it can be narrowed down to this date based on the design of the back and square legs along with the quality of craftsmanship shown throughout and the rich mahogany timbers used for its construction.
Unlike many antique desk chairs it is of generous proportions, which in combination with the richness of the mahogany timber used and therefore the overall solidity of the chair, allows it to be used by just about anybody that so wishes. Certainly it is more than fit for original purpose.
The seat is covered with an old needlework tapestry cover. The needlework could well be original to the seat as it is certainly an old one, but it is impossible to be sure of this. There is a little wear to the needlework, with couple of very small spots which could be referred to as threadbare upon close inspection, but certainly there is nothing which is aesthetically displeasing in that respect. It would also be extremely easy and inexpensive, to have the seat reupholstered in any fabric of ones choosing of course due to the fact it is the drop in variety.
As with all items we offer for sale the chair has been inspected at our workshops by our highly skilled, traditionally trained, antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish, ensuring that it is ready to place immediately into the home or office, before being offered for sale.
Circa 1760.
Height 37.5in.
Width 26.25in.
Depth 24in.
Seat Height 18.5in.

Pair of 18th Century Chippendale Mahogany Library Armchairs
Located in London, GB
An important pair of mid-18th century Chippendale period mahogany Library Armchairs, having unusual carved and scrolled cartouche-shaped backs, with scroll moulded set-back arms. The Chairs having stuffover seats with gadrooned borders, supported on blind fret carved cabriole legs with scrolled toes.
For similar examples see Chippendale's Director, 'French Chairs' Plate XXI
Further information:
Similar examples of our Library Armchairs can be found in the third edition of Thomas Chippendale book Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director (1762). The pair resembles the right chair design in Plate XXI, catalogued by Chippendale as “French Chairs”. He described in his book that this model “may be executed to advantage, some of them are intended to be open below at the back: which makes them very light without having a bad effect.’ His design illustrates his familiarity with the fashionable French Rococo style represented by the curvilinear form of the chair and scrolled feet. The carved surface decoration on our Chairs is much less elaborate than that on the published design and is more reminiscent of the work of Robert Manwaring...
