About the Item

Leonard William Collmann, stamped L W Collmann. A rare exhibition quality Gothic Revival oak chaise lounge or daybed with incised and inlaid details through out, a wonderful original poly-chrome panel in the style of AWN Pugin to the back end with stylised florets and fluer de lis on white chevrons aside gilt chevrons, retaining it's original silk fabric to the side arm depicting stylised flowers again with an AWN Pugin influence. The chaise stood on incredibly detailed elongated brass castors. Records show that Leonard William Collmann worked with Alfred Stevens on the entrance of the British Museum and exhibited an upright piano in the London 1862 Exhibition. Leonard William Collmann, first of Bouverie Street, and later of George Street, Portman Square was a pupil of Sydney Smirke, R.A. (who designed and built the Carlton and the Conservative Clubs), and was himself an excellent draughtsman, and carried out the decoration and furnishing of many public buildings, London Clubs, and mansions of the nobility and gentry. Collmann's designs were generally Classic and although his Gothic Revival furniture designs were a step above, like the chaise Lounge here of exhibition quality, were only made for commissions and extremely rare to find.

Antique French Gothic Oak Chaise Longue, Circa 1870
Located in Dallas, TX
In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was not uncommon for skilled craftsmen to repurpose older wood carvings into their own furniture creations. A French menuisier utilized this technique (circa 1870), incorporating a previously carved chair back and arms into the construction of this Gothic style chaise lounge. Based on the faded Gothic motifs and age separations, the repurposed pieces were most likely carved in the 16th century. The Gothic period carvings seen on the top rail include a series of foliate groupings flanked by bulbous finials. Although the carvings have faded over the course of centuries, the finials might have been leaf cups, which were often seen during the Gothic period. The back rest has been adorned with arcading beneath an infilled niche that is flanked by a pair of linenfold carvings. A cream colored cushion has been affixed by small nails above an apron embellished with barb tracery and ogee brackets. The entire lounge is supported by six block legs, with the back four extending directly from the back and the arms. Relatively low to the ground, our French Gothic oak...
