Regency Rosewood and Brass Klismos Armchair

About the Item

Fine Regency rosewood and gilt brass armchair in the manner of Morel and Hughes, having curved back with gilt brass mounts over scrolled arms with gilt longleaf mounts, over scrolled legs having gilt roundels and gilt money in tapering form down the legs which terminated in original brass castors. According to the Furniture History Society, "The firm of Morel and Hughes was established in 1805 by the partnership of two successful cabinet makers Nicholas Morel and Robert Hughes, and located at 13 Great Marlborough Street, London. Morel was probably of French extraction and had particularly strong ties to the group of Anglo-French craftsmen centered on the architect Henry Holland and the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre. Under Holland's direction he worked on the decoration of Carlton House, official London residence of the Prince of Wales, also supplying furnishings for the Prince's hunting box at The Grange, Hampshire. Morel and Hughes continued to supply furniture for the Prince of Wales, later George IV, as well as for many other nobles such as The Dukes of Buccleuch, Northumberland, Bedford and the Earl of Mansfiled. The partnership of Morel and Hughes ended by 1827 at which point Morel went into partnership with George Seddon."
