About the Item
An impressive pair of early 19th century Regency period white painted and carved giltwood armchairs, in the manner of Morel and Hughes, acanthus and scroll carved throughout. The chairs with roll-over backs and stuff-over seats, above Vitruvian scroll frieze, supported on reeded tapering legs with paterae, ending on original brass castors. Upholstered in an attractive blue/grey Damask material.
Further information:
These giltwood armchairs with their Grecian design are closely related to several other pieces of furniture. The first appearance of a similar model is dated to 1805, when Prince of Wales’ architect Henry Holland was commissioned by Samuel Whitbread, an established brewer and Member of Parliament, to design the interiors of his new mansion in Southill, recently bought from Lord Torrington. This design will be reprised by the London firm of Morel and Hughes for different projects. Nicholas Morel was one of the master cabinet makers of his team, working on several of Holland’s projects including Southill and furniture commissioned by George IV at Windsor Castle. After forming a partnership with Robert Hughes in 1805, reaching out important clients such as the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Bedford and most of all the Duke of Northumberland for his Northumberland House, formerly on The Strand. A similar design to our Armchairs is also recorded in Lord Lascelles’ Harewood House in Hanover Square in London, supplied by Morel and Hughes.

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...
