Set of 8 George III Heppelwhite Shield Back Dining Chairs, 18th Century

About the Item

This is a superb set of assembled George III Dining Chairs after a model by George Hepplewhite. The two arm chairs and four of the side chairs date to the late 18th century. Two of the side chairs are of a later date. All eight chairs are in very good overall condition with an old surface. The mahogany has acquired just the right tone over the chairs' 200 plus years of use. A set of eight chairs in this excellent condition is an uncommon find. These chairs are currently being upholstered in a Clarence House linen velvet; the seat cushion filler will be replaced with new foam. **For more favorable shipping quotes to the East Coast and San Francisco, please contact MJH DESIGN ARTS.

18th Century Painting of Cherub/Putti
Located in Pasadena, CA
This is a charming painting of a cherub with an arm extending forward, perhaps hold out a bouquet of flowers. The painting dates to the mid-18th century and is probably cut from a larger painting. The putti is well-framed in a French a gold leafed neoclassical-style. Considering the quality of this painting, and although not signed, the painting was most probably painted by a recognized Italian 18th century artist.
