About the Item

A Very Impressive Regency Period Ebonised Chaise Longue or Daybed with Gilt Brass Mounts. Conceived in the high regency taste, and of that period, this chaise has beautiful flowing lines and the black and gold colour scheme that was so popular at the time. What sets this model apart from so many others is the high quality of the mounts. Rather than simply using gilded wooden elements, this piece is profusely mounted and the floral paterae in particular are of outstanding quality. Having four quality, unusual, original brass castors. The chased leaf mounts on the legs are very unusual and the fact that mounts are also employed on the back of the piece, a sure sign of superior quality. These additional mounts make this piece much more sculptural and allow it to be used in the middle of a room if required. Having four quality, unusual and original brass castors. The daybed or chaise is one of the pieces of furniture most associated with the regency period and there are few better examples of the form than this piece. It is good enough to be considered to be in the manner of the Royal makers Morel and Seddon and could possibly be associated with their workshops. The large size also suggests both a maker and a client of some importance.

Fine Regency ebonized and gilt heightened chaise longue in the manner of Thomas Hope Early 19th century Regency ebonised and gilt heightened chaise longue in the manner of Thomas Hope, the reeded show-wood frame with twin scroll ends with flower head motif and caned back, satin striped upholstery on splayed legs, terminating in lions paw foot cappings and casters. Almost certainly acquired by Rev. Daniel Shipton, during the remodelling of Crawley House, circa 1806 and by descent to his daughter Charlotte Orlebar, (nee Shipton) and by descent through the Orlebar Family, Crawley House, Husborne Crawley, Bedfordshire. Crawley House was built for Rev. Daniel Shipton in 1777 with a legacy from his wife Temperance’s family: Daniel and Temperence’s daughter and heir Charlotte married Robert Charles Orlebar in 1807 and thus the estate came into the possession of the Orlebar family. It was reworked in 1806, when the drawing room was decorated (and presumably furnished) in the Egyptian style, including the upper part of the walls divided into panel with a border of sphinxes and mummies, a scheme recorded in the surviving account book. Surviving accounts detailing Rev. Shipton’s expenditure on the 1806 renovations and extensions at Crawley house deposited with the Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Service, provide great detail about internal furnishings through each room in the new part of the house in turn: Library; yellow bedroom; blue room; green bedroom; dining parlour and drawing room. Many payments were made to fashionable London firms including to Wedgewood, to Parker the famous glass manufacturer, £119.2s 11ds, to Shout for Statuary, and notably, the very large sum of £915.0s. 11d to Collier the upholsterer, considering the house cost in the region of £1,000 when it was built in 1777-8, one can only presume that Collier supplied all the furniture from as-yet-unknown London...
