About the Item
This beautiful reclining chair was made by Robert Daws, an English fine furniture maker who worked at 17 Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, London between 1820 and 1839.
He first patented his ‘improved recumbent chair’ in 1827 and this lovely example is made in solid mahogany with a tall supportive back and original slide out footstool. The reclining mechanism is operated by a brass button at the side of the seat rail, the seat slides forward and the back is pivoted so that it gently tilts into position. The arms with carved scrolled supportsand the front legs very well turned with original brass casters. The back legs splayed and hocked again terminating in original brass casters. The stool can sit firmly within the frame of the chair or be removed and set on fold out legs concealed beneath the frame and set as an angled footstool.
The whole chair and stool upholstered in pale cream leather with button detailing and the arm caps finished with brass antique nails.
A really good original and solid example, recently re-upholstered and in excellent condition throughout.
Dimensions are:
22.5 inches wide, 30 inches deep (whilst stool pushed in and chair in upright position), and 45.5 inches high.
Floor to seat is 17 inches and the seat is 21.5 inches deep, increasing to 42 inches when stool pulled out.

17th Century William and Mary Period Oak Armchair c. 1690
Located in Heathfield, GB
A beautifully shaped William and Mary oak armchair with well carved horse-bone legs and arm supports, scrolled feet and handsomely carved front stretcher with S scrolls and geometric motif. The tall upholstered back over spiral turned legs and original spiral and bulb turned stretchers.
In very good condition for age with some small old dings, some old woodworm, long long dead and a couple of small very old repairs - not affecting structure. The chair is extremely comfortable and solid with a good width between the arms, deep well padded seat and gentle rake to the padded back.
Upholstered in a moss green high quality velvet with matching fringed braid in very good condition also.
A really beautiful and rather rare early chair of generous proportions all made by hand in c. 1690.
The oak has developed an excellent dark and rich colour throughout.
A good and honest William and Mary chair...
