We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning original circa 1790 wingback porters chair with Gillows style legs in solid mahogany Please scroll all the way to the bottom of the description for multiple supersized pictures A really rare find and with very desirable proportions, the back is quite narrow and snug which was the point, wingback chairs came to life for grand houses where the sitter needed protection from the wind, these type of chair were for the porter or night watchman, easy to nod off in as the wings offer such comfortable head rest The base is coil sprung as you would expect, the frame solid mahogany and as mentioned the legs are in the manner of Gillows, I wouldn’t be surprised if after the upholstery is removed you find some prominent manufactures name somewhere Condition wise we have professionally upholstery cleaned it from top to bottom, it might have the odd mark here and there from normal use mostly it's in good vintage condition throughout.
