Large English Chippendale Gainsborough Armchair, mid-18th Century
By Wright & Elwick
Located in Richmond, London
A very fine George III period Gainsborough armchair of superb quality and large scale, attributable to Wright and Elwick.
English, circa 1760.
Why we like it
We love the imposing scale of this iconic design from the mid-18th century, superbly handcrafted and beautifully reupholstered in a luxurious Claremont silk damask.
Provenance
With a pre-1903 label underneath reading GEO TROLLOPE & SONS / BELGRAVE SQUARE, / LONDON, S.W.
Attribution
This armchair relates to 'French Chair' designs in the George II picturesque manner illustrated in Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, London, 1754. The pattern relates closely to a suite of five library armchairs from Swinton in Yorkshire and now attributed to the Yorkshire cabinet-makers, Wright and Elwick, who were known to have worked for William Danby at Swinton in around 1775, and who were both subscribers to the first edition of the Director. The suite was sold by the Earl of Swinton and the Hon. Nicholas Cunliffe-Lister, from Swinton House, Masham, Yorkshire, in Christie's house sale, 20-21 October 1975, lot 17.
Wright and Elwick
Established in 1747 by Richard Wright and Edward Elwick, this prolific partnership '[had] the honour to serve most of the Nobility & Gentry in the West and North Rideing' (G. Beard and C. Gilbert, eds., Dictionary of English Furniture-Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, pp. 1006-1008). Certainly, records indicate that they received patronage from such distinguished clients as Sir Rowland Winn at Nostell Priory, the Duke of Norfolk at Worksop Manor, Viscount Irwin at Temple Newsam House, John Spencer at Cannon Hall and most notably, the Marquess of Rockingham at Wentworth Woodhouse.
A pair of virtually identical armchairs is in the collestion of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. An identical armchair was sold Christie's, London, Ronald Phillips Ltd - Making Room, 2 July 2014, Lot 69.
The design also corresponds to a chair in the collection at Southill, Bedfordshire (P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1954, vol. I, p. 277, fig. 160). A pair of armchairs of this form was sold Christie’s New York, 19 October 2000, lot 100 ($182,000); a single chair of virtually identical form was sold Christie's London, 15 April 1999, lot 65; a further related pair was sold Sotheby's London, 5 July 1997, lot 58.

Contemporary Fiberglass Armchair, Fudge Chair by Faye Toogood
By Faye Toogood
Located in Warsaw, PL
Contemporary fiberglass armchair - Fudge chair by Faye Toogood. This is shown in the malachite fiberglass finish.
Design: Faye Toogood
Material: Fiberglass
Available also in charcoal, cream or malachite opaque finish
Faye Toogood’s new Fudge armchair celebrates the role that chance and subtle imperfections play in the design process. The chair’s solid form, standing foursquare on stout cuboid legs, develops the satisfying chunkiness familiar from Toogood’s Roly-Poly furniture collection, imbuing it with a playful plasticity. The subtle asymmetries and softly curving lines of the original clay maquette have been assiduously reproduced full-size, first hand-carved in wood and then faithfully cast in durable fibreglass.
The armchair is available in four hues – ranging from subtle cream and charcoal to pastel mallow and rich malachite green - all with a handsanded satin-matte finish. The finished confection has a playful charm which acknowledges that strength in design arises from an element of chance in the moment of...
