17th Century Charles II Walnut High Back Bergère Carved Hallway Chair

About the Item

A Rare and Well Preserved 17th century Charles II Walnut High Back Bergère Decorative Carved Hallway Chair 1680s This high-back chair made from walnut dates to around 1680. The crest rail is elaborately carved. The base is then elaborately formed with a scrollwork stretcher with the legs joined by a turned H-stretcher. Perhaps the most notable feature is the use of canework, which appears on the back panel and to the seat. This was actually for aesthetics as many of these chairs were made to line the walls of large houses. However, a padded cushion was often used on top of the canework which distributed the weight and allowed the canework to hold up. Nevertheless, when they were lined up against a wall they enhanced many interiors and the canework offered a lighter appearance that many interiors had not of this type are often found in relatively good condition because they have been protected in country houses.
