About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely suite of eight original, early Victorian circa 1840, hand carved Jacobean revival dining chairs with hand carved Horse main Armorial crest, Coat of Arms back rests from Harry Warren House Studland with a lovely Churchill D-day connection They are from the Harry Warren House as mentioned, the full details are as follows Harry Warren House Built in 1886 by Walter Ralph Bankes (1853-1904) as a hunting lodge this attractive Victorian country house was designed by a Scottish architect and has been described by an architectural historian as a "Queen of Bands" house as the tower and ornamentation is said to be inspired by Victorian band stands. The tale is that he used it in his bachelor days for entertaining and that he never returned after his marriage. The house has always been a private house and has been lease by the Anderson family since 1926 when Gen. Stuart Anderson rented it from Ralph Bankes. It formed part of Ralph Bankes very generous bequest to the National Trust - the largest they have ever been given. First hand accounts tell of King George VI, Montgomery, Eisenhower and Churchill watching the preparations for the D-Day landings from here, First a destroyer made a smoke screen along the Bournemouth coast to maintain secrecy and then all hell broke loose as operation, with planes, landing craft and live ammunition got underway. Our reporter says the blast blew out many of the windows of the house. Since then the house has had a more peaceful time and has been used in recent years as the setting for some Rosamunde Pilcher romantic dramas much loved by German television audiences. Restoration wise, the chairs are 100% original and unaltered, the upholstery looks to be Rexene which has aged beautifully and has an irreplaceable patina, the frames have been cleaned waxed and polished and again, in perfect original order, these chairs are exactly as you would hope to find them And there you have it, what a history! The chairs are oversized grand pieces, the front legs are ornately carved and terminate with Lion's hairy paw feet in the 17th century taste. The back rests are twin Horse Armorial coats of arms, there will be someone out there with the time to research the origins but today I'm afraid its not me. The upholstery is the period Rexene which has nicely aged and worn, it is stable and usable X6 Standard chair dimensions Height:- 115cm Width:- 53cm Depth:- 54cm Seat height:- 48.5cm X2 Carver chair dimensions Height:- 123.5cm Width:- 63.5cm Depth:- 60.5cm Seat height:- 50.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition.
