Circa 1750, English Georgian ii Period Mahogany Armchair with Modern Fabric
Located in Chicago, IL
Circa 1750 English Georgian II period mahogany armchair. The George II period was most noted for its intricate chairs. Like the other Georgian periods, this one was named after the monarch during the time. Under George II, mahogany became the predominant wood used for fine furniture. Many of the styles were symmetrical and had architectural curves, inspired by the Gothic. These works were very expensive and only the rich could afford and buy them. This specific armchair has a frame entirely carved from mahogany, which was a strong and durable wood that was also naturally water resistant and offers natural resistance against pests. The back of the chair has a splat design. Splats were an important element of eighteenth-century English chairs, offering support. It originated from the importation of Chinese Ming Dynasty chairs...

18th Century English George III Period Mahogany Armchair with Modern Fabric
Located in Chicago, IL
This is a finely carved 1760 English George III armchair. The George III period was named after the English monarch of the time. It was popular among the elite and mercantile class of people, due to its excellent material and intricate carvings. Due to the multiple King Georges, each George developed its own look. The George III period is also referred to as the Chippendale style. This period was often characterized by drawing on both the Rococo and Gothic styles. Pieces sported curves, arches, Chinese influences, and cabriole legs. This chair has been entirely carved out of mahogany; a premiere wood choice known for its durability, longevity, and rich coloring. The back has an elegant splat, a principal element of eighteenth-century English chairs. Splats are the center support for a chair’s open back and originated from the importation of Chinese Ming Dynasty chairs...

English Georgian Period Elm Ladderback Fireside Armchair with Rush Seat, c. 1800
Located in San Francisco, CA
An uncommon circa 1800 English Georgian period country ladderback fireside armchair in elm with woven rush seat.
Delightfully proportioned, with the tall six-slat back “towering” over the extra-low seat, and the frame having a laid-back profile. Hand-crafted of solid elm, with nicely turned arms, legs, and stretcher. Stands on carved club feet in front and simple metal band-reinforced feet in back. Displays very handsome authentic antique character, color, and patina throughout.
Natural woven rush seat is likely not original, though it does have some age to it, is period-appropriate, and complements the overall look.

Irish Hand Carved Armchair with Lions Heads & Hairy Paw Feet
Located in Dallas, TX
PRESENTING A STUNNING and OUTSTANDING Irish Hand Carved Armchair with Lions Heads & Hairy Paw Feet.
Irish made circa 1890-1910.
We know that this is ‘Irish’, due to the signature ‘hairy paw’ feet which is synonymous with Irish Georgian furniture.
We are of the opinion that this is ‘Georgian Style’ and made right at the end of the 19th Century and possibly very early 20th Century.
This is a hand crafted chair, made of mahogany, and has THE MOST FABULOUS Lions Head carvings on the knees of both front legs, Lions Heads on the ends of the serpentine shaped arm supports.
THE DETAIL OF THE CARVING ON EVERY PIECE OF THIS CHAIR IS SIMPLY OUTSTANDING !
Both arm supports have detailed carving along their body in floral and ribbon motifs with the ribbon carving ending in Celtic ‘Eternity’ symbols and floral tassels.
The side supports are likewise carved with floral and ribbon motifs ending in floral tassels.
Each arm ends with a fabulously carved hairy headed lion with his face pointing outward. Their eyes, snout and smiling mouths expertly carved.
The front legs have the AMAZING lions head carvings (obviously male lions) with their flowing manes. They are set between floral carvings and a flower medallion either side of each head.
The legs then curve down to the most AMAZING carved large ‘hairy’ lions paw feet. Large because the Lions are males. The hairy and carved detail to the feet is all around the feet (360 degrees). The maker even made/carved toenails on the base of the feet.
The rear feet have gorgeous acanthus foliage style carvings on the knees and curve outwards to the AGAIN, carved large ‘hairy’ lions paw feet. Large because the Lions are males. The hairy and carved detail to the feet is all around the feet (360 degrees).
The chair has been re-upholstered, by us, in a gorgeous light gold, sage green and cream (very Irish colors), silk and wool, damask fabric which is beautifully sympathetic to the style and period. The upholstery is entirely edged in brass upholstery round headed pins.
We are confident that this chair is ‘antique’, for a number of reasons: (1) It is hand crafted and constructed, (2) the color/patina and natural wear and tear are what you would expect with natural aging from circa 1890-1910, (3) we have never seen another one like it, so they were most definitely, not, mass produced.
Unsigned and unmarked but undoubtedly made by a top Irish furniture maker and probably in Dublin.
It is MOST DEFINITELY of the quality of furniture that was being made by the renowned, James Hicks of Pembroke Street, Dublin at that time.
RARE, QUALITY, EXCEPTIONALLY IRISH ANTIQUE!
Irish furniture can be recognized by certain features, which differentiate it from its European counterparts. The Irish style of furniture is said to have been lagging behind in fashion compared to English equivalent by a number of years, in both its design and manner by which the furniture was manufactured. A defining feature of the mid-eighteenth-century furniture is the carving on different parts of the furniture such as the aprons, blanket chests, bottle-stands and such objects. The carvings included foliated details, baskets of flowers and scallop shells, which are some of the most prominent carvings that are represented on Irish furniture at this time. A few of the Irish makers of these objects were James Hicks, Arthur Jones, William Moore, Mack & Gibton and Robert Strahan. All though individuals would have been the most prominent at the time of the 18th century and early 19th century but there are any other cabinet makers as well.
Not all Irish furniture was detailed with such wonderful carvings and some might have been seen to be rather plain. One of the most identifiable items that are described as plain is the Irish Hunt Table, its simple elegance comprising of with straight plain legs. It was most commonly used in the dining room of a rural house such as a agents house or large house of a land holder. Another very popular and simply designed piece was the Irish Silver table, its design is very elegant and yet individual partially owing to the shell motive.
Other examples of such Irish tables are side tables which have a distinctive double scrolled leg. Usually legs are carved with acanthus and have paw feet which are quite popular in Ireland but more rare in England. Other features are the inside leg which is carved with elongated C-scroll. The triple scroll on the leg was common place. Some cabinet makers and creativity was really captured with their side tables in how the carving was done. This carving may include Jupiters eagle or Lion mask and flanked Swags of flowers. In other furniture such as chairs, the H-shaped serpentine stretcher was popular in the 18th century in Ireland and when English chairs had moved forward in their design the Irish makers were still using the H-shaped serpentine. There was certainly an overlap between Irish and English furniture, one can see that Irish cabinet makers used English pattern books but used Irish features such as the carvings as the shell, baskets of flowers and foliated details. Another unique feature in Irish cabinet making was Killarney ware...
