About the Item

A rare, matched pair of ebonised armchairs from The Baroque & Baroque-Revival Periods & An Antiquarian, Baroque stool - From a private, furniture collection, acquired to represent three different periods of European manufacture & collecting of ebonised furniture; the 17th, 18th and early-20th centuries - Called BLACK GOLD in the 17th century ebony was the most expensive wood; an instantly recognisable, status symbol, only within the reach of Kings and the Aristocracy. -Ebonised furniture imitated ebony which was valued for its colour and smooth, polished, texture imitating lacquer. -These pieces have been repolished so that the ebonised lustre resembles their original, lacquer effect finish creating a striking, luxurious finish. -The late-17th century armchair is transitional combining the latest fashion and comfort in seat furniture design with an ebonised finish to create a luxury item for the elite market. -The 18th century armchair demonstates the revival of interest in ebony and ebonised pieces, stimulated by Horace Walpole’s interest in 17th century ebony furniture believing it to be Tudor, as a luxury item for the elite market. -The antiquarian stool demonstrates the revival of this taste in large, country house interiors at the tail end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century as a luxury item for the elite market. -The bargello upholstery is a re-creation of a fashionable Baroque embroidery with strong colours and a glow that complements the black lacquered effect of the wood The pieces in this set can be sold individually on request.
