19th Century, Pair of English Regency Lacquered Wood Chairs

About the Item

19th Century, Pair of English Regency Lacquered Wood Chairs The pair of chairs was made in the Regency period, around the beginning of the 19th century in England. The wooden structure is entirely lacquered in red tones and decorated in polychrome and gold. The design of the chairs, both in form and decoration, is inspired by Chinese elements. The love for all chinoiserie follows the importation of works of art from China and the East which began to arrive in England in large quantities during the reign of William and Mary towards the end of the 17th century. The great demand for this type of furniture led to the creation of furniture, such as chairs, screens, drawers, tables, inspired by the line and decorations of China and Japan. The carved and mixed-grain, moved seat back, as well as the chinoiserie decoration, are a good expression of the English interpretation of imperial Chinese luxury. The relief figures are obtained by using cast plaster, which gives a three-dimensional appearance to the decoration. This proposes a landscape with architecture, trees and figures of oriental taste, painted in gold and different for each chair. A golden thread runs through the rest of the structure of the chairs to embellish them and create some lights. The chairs have seats in cannetè and legs in a saber. The underside of the seat is again decorated with a relief, with floral elements in polychrome lacquer. These chairs, particular and very decorative, are easily placed, both in pairs or individually, in different environments and can be combined with antique and modern furniture.
