A Pair of George I Style Walnut Lowback Open Armchairs

1900 - 1920

Sold by Butchoff Antiques Ltd.

Description

Currently in unrestored original condition, please contact us for further information.

Constructed from walnut, these armchairs are based on the most desirable early Georgian and Queen Anne chairs exhibiting the characteristic vase-shaped splat alongside elegant cabriole legs terminating in lion’s paw feet. Unusually, these armchairs exhibit anthropomorphic grotesque features on the knees as well as the terminals of the armrests, instead of the more common shell and foliate motifs. With drop-in needlepoint seats.

English, circa 1900
