Rare Set of Four Cock Fighting Chairs

About the Item

A set of four George III style cock fighting chairs covered in burgundy ribbed velvet with nailed trim, raised on tapered square mahogany legs with brass casters. These chairs are often used in libraries or even in bedrooms. The cock fighting tag is perhaps fanciful but seems to have stuck. They are made to be sat on backwards but are comfortable in either direction. This is an unusual form for a chair and sometimes is found with book easels and trays. To have four is rather unusual and would be very attractive in a library.
