About the Item
Dated to the early 19th century, this pair of lightweight Russian armchairs stand on elegantly tapered sabre legs and feature low, arched backs and turned arms decorated with acanthus leaf carvings. The chairs are crafted of solid mahogany and mahogany veneer, designed with a low profile that makes them ideal for placing before a window or floating in the center of a room. The square seats have been reupholstered in a celadon green and gold fabric woven to resemble rippling water. With simple form and fine materials, these gorgeous chairs have a timeless appeal and layer beautifully into any interior.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

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.
