About the Item

A superbly decorative pair of side chairs, exquisitely hand-painted to simulate exotic timber and ornamented with neoclassical festive ribbons and garlands, with Greek key border to seat rails. England, circa 1800-1810. Three pairs of the side chairs (i.e. set of six) and a pair of en-suite armchairs are currently available. Why we like them Elegant and refined, the design of these chairs reflects the late Georgian fashion for lightweight and slender furniture, inspired by the findings at the archaeological excavations in Italy, popularised by the British designer Thomas Sheraton and the architects Adam brothers before him. Very pretty chairs, comfortable, nicely drawn and well proportioned, these chairs will suit a traditional as well as an eclectic interior and will look even prettier with tastefully made squab cushions. Condition Sturdy and usable condition, the decoration had been refreshed at some point in the past. All have signs of age and use, as expected of genuine antique pieces.

Pair of 19th Century Open Armchairs
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in Richmond, London
A superb quality pair of open armchairs, after late 18th century designs by Gillows of Lancaster and London, the manufacture attributable to Gillow & Co. English, circa 1880. Why we like them Wonderfully elegant model, looking very delicate but in fact unusually strong – the sign of a skilled craftsman. Interestingly, chairs of this exact model can be seen in a painting by Walter Dendy Sadler (British, 1854-1923), The After Lunch Conversation, 1889, sold at Doyle, New York, 21 May 2024, lot 83. Design These chairs correspond to Gillows’ 'Garforth pattern' - a rare and highly desirable design - which first appeared in 1795 and was probably an adaptation of Georges Jacob's design of circa 1792 for Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet. Gillows made the chairs not only in mahogany but also japanned, and they appear to have been particularly popular among the genteel, professional, and merchant classes in the north of England. In 1796, the Earl of Strafford purchased six white and green japanned chairs for Wentworth Woodhouse...
