An early George I Caquetoire chair Circa 1718

About the Item

An exceptional example of an early and rare caquetoire chair with carved cresting over an unusually narrow back, inscribed ‘I.M.I., I.H.S., ANNO 1718, G.B.’, with large outward scrolling arms, on block turned supports, joined by peripheral stretchers. The piece has an absolutly wonderful patina and would grace any home. Caquetoire is a French term meaning gossip or chat. These chairs were originally made for women which is why the seat is a large trapezoidal shape, this would accommodate the wide dresses worn by women of this period.

A 16th CENTURY OAK WAINSCOT CHAIR DATED 1539
Located in Flower Mound, TX
An absolutely stunning example of an early oak Wainscot chair, the carved foliate and scroll top rail above a paneled back, centered with an incised lozenge, initialed and dated ‘P D 1539’, over the board seat upon turned baluster front legs and plain rear legs united by peripheral cross stretchers. We don't know the relevance of the date seeing the chair was probably made in the later part of the 16th century. It is interesting to note that King Henry VIII was on the throne during the date on this chair. This was acquired by “The Englishman’s Antiques...
