18th Century Chinese Chippendale Mahogany Gainsborough Library Armchair
Located in Lymington, GB
A very good Chippendale-period mahogany Gainsborough armchair, circa 1760.
This is a lovely example of an early-George III Gainsborough library armchair in the sophisticated Chinese taste of the period.
With well-executed blind-fret carving to the square legs and arm supports.
Note the unusual treatment of the gently-outswept padded arms. Furthermore there is subtle shaping to the top of the back.
The 'H' stretcher with pierced Gothick carving.
Professionally upholstered to a high standard and overstuffed in a neutral soft velvet, with float buttons and close nailed. Raised on old brass castors. Lovely, rich, old colour and patina. In excellent condition with a sturdy frame throughout.
These Georgian library armchairs are sometimes also known as Martha Washington chairs...
