Description

Beautifully drawn and finely made.

The design of this chair, while not an exact match, is closely related to a set of ten chairs supplied by Gillows to Baron Clonbrock, of Clonbrock, Ahascragh, Co. Galway, in 1801, (Christie's: Important English Furniture, 10th April 2003, lot 29).

85cm high x 52cm wide x 55cm deep

Condition: Although lightweight, the slender frame is solid, strong and tight. The back caning is slightly bowed but intact, with no breaks. Some general surface wear, more concentrated to the tops of the arms, some isolated areas of clouding to the finish. Drop in seat requires a new top coat, one internal seat bracket and the underside of the seat stamped IV.

....and it's comfortable too

Reliable transport throught the UK can be easily arranged at cost price, (next collection w/c 2nd September). Please let me know if you can be of further assistance.

FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1830, was heavily influenced by neoclassical Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs, featuring clean lines, classical proportions, and dark painted finishes such as japanning.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods like beech or mahogany, finished with a black japanned surface mimicking Asian lacquer, often incorporating caned panels and turned or sabre legs.

Authentic pieces from this era generally exhibit period joinery methods, hand-turned components, genuine caning, and appropriate wear consistent with early 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

A historical black-finished chair works well as an accent piece in modern minimalist or eclectic spaces, providing a sharp architectural silhouette and historical contrast.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the wood and caning from drying out, cleaning only with a dry or very lightly damp soft cloth, and avoiding direct sunlight.
