Rare Pair Of Early 18th Century Walnut & Upholstered Georgian Side Chairs
Rare Pair Of Early 18th Century Walnut & Upholstered Georgian Side Chairs

Rare Pair Of Early 18th Century Walnut & Upholstered Georgian Side Chairs

Located in Bedfordshire, GB

An Extremely Rare Pair Of Early 18th Century George I Period Walnut And Upholstered Side Chairs, The Swept High Backs And Very Generous Seats With Recent Chenille Type Upholstery, Raised On Bold But Elegant Cabriole Legs To Front & Back, Terminating On Original Turned Pad Feet.  This fabulous pair of chairs are over 300 years old and remain every bit as usable today as they would have been when originally made. Relatively simple and restrained in their design, but at the same time incredibly elegant, they are a really lovely example of good quality early 18th century English furniture. The scale of the chairs is particularly good, with unusually tall swept backs and very generous seats giving them considerably more presence than many side chairs of the period. Constructed from good quality walnut throughout, they have developed a lovely rich colour and surface over the years, with the inevitable old marks, scuffs and imperfections blending nicely into the overall appearance. The bold walnut cabriole legs are extremely well shaped and give the chairs a wonderful stance, helping them to stand tall and proud. Particularly unusual is the fact that the cabriole form continues to the rear legs as well as the front, with all four terminating on original turned pad feet. The chairs have recently been upholstered in a good quality neutral chenille type fabric, which works extremely well against the rich walnut and makes them particularly easy to place. The generous proportions also make them considerably more comfortable and practical than many chairs of this period. Overall the condition is excellent considering their considerable age and it is increasingly rare to find genuine chairs of this type dating from such an early period, let alone a pair which have remained together. There are of course numerous later 19th and 20th century interpretations of early Georgian chairs...

A Pair of Estate Made English Oak George I Hall Chairs, Early 18th Century

Located in Llanbrynmair, GB

This exceptional pair of hall chairs showcases the simplistic yet refined elegance of early 18th century English furniture design. Crafted from beautiful dark English oak, these chairs feature a splat back silhouette and an unusual inverted stepped arch top. A sturdy pair with turned legs and stretchers, topped with two straight plank seats, the vertical, single, splat back runs down the centre of the chair providing bold straight lines. As with all well crafted pieces of the period, the proportions and thickness of the wood provides a perfectly balanced design. Likely commissioned for a grand country manor or estate, these hall chairs would have been placed prominently in an entryway or foyer to welcome guests. Remarkably well-preserved examples of early 18th century English oak furniture...
