About the Item

The finely carved unusual splat with two horse heads in the centre holding draperies in their mouth above a classcial pierced splat decorated with further draperies and supported by horse feet. There are several chair designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans and also by Johann Ephraim Eben featuring very similar rich draperies. Like many designs of Berlin chairmakers from that period they resemble earlier English models for example by Hepplewhite. These splats though, seem to be an independent design made by a renowned workshop in Berlin or Potsdam for the Royal household. Provenance: These side or dining chairs formed a set with an armchair featuring the identical back plate, that belonged to the Schlossmuseum Berlin in the 1920s (see historical photograph). The inventory of the Schlossmuseum at the time came solely from the Royal Palaces in Berlin and Potsdam. Unfortunately no more information about the primary Provenance of these chairs has survived, but it can be assumed that they belonged to the Royal Prussian inventory.

Pair of 19th Century Open Armchairs

By Gillows of Lancaster & London

Located in Richmond, London

A superb quality pair of open armchairs, after late 18th century designs by Gillows of Lancaster and London, the manufacture attributable to Gillow & Co. English, circa 1880. Why we like them Wonderfully elegant model, looking very delicate but in fact unusually strong – the sign of a skilled craftsman. Interestingly, chairs of this exact model can be seen in a painting by Walter Dendy Sadler (British, 1854-1923), The After Lunch Conversation, 1889, sold at Doyle, New York, 21 May 2024, lot 83. Design These chairs correspond to Gillows’ 'Garforth pattern' - a rare and highly desirable design - which first appeared in 1795 and was probably an adaptation of Georges Jacob's design of circa 1792 for Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet. Gillows made the chairs not only in mahogany but also japanned, and they appear to have been particularly popular among the genteel, professional, and merchant classes in the north of England. In 1796, the Earl of Strafford purchased six white and green japanned chairs for Wentworth Woodhouse...
