A George IV Mahogany Stool of the St, Giles House Model.

18th century
Description

English, ca. 1835

This fine hall stool with solid mahogany dished seat having on each side a fluted scroll terminal finished with stylistically carved floral paterea, above carved rails with square carvings on each corner finished on fluted tapering legs.

A group of 10 Hall Benches of Identical design executed in oak were supplied to Cropley Ashley Cooper, 6th Earl of Shaftesbury (1768-1851 St Giles house, Wimborne St Giles, Dorset.

The 7th earl Records in his ‘Collected Traditions of the Mansion & estate’ of 1855, states that these stools were carved by Richard Penn Esqre for the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury’

Richard Penn (1784-1863), had a rather interesting family history as he was the Great grandson of William Penn, the founder of the then province of Pennsylvania. He was employed at the Colonial Office, Penn was also an Author, writing on such varied subjects as ciphering, angling, shooting and chess.

Further Research through achive pictures has found a very similar stool, if not the pair photographed in the entarance hall. Benches and stools of this model where still in the house as recent as 2012

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

George IV furniture, produced between 1820 and 1830, reflects a transition from neoclassical Regency symmetry to richer ornamentation, often incorporating architectural carving, fluting, rosettes, and dense mahogany wood.

Stools from this period were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, utilising traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-carved decorative friezes and turned legs.

Authentic pieces feature period construction marks, hand-carved detailing such as fluting and rosettes, natural oxidisation in the drawer linings or undersides, and an aged timber patina.

Place the stool at the foot of a bed, beneath a hallway console, or within a bay window to introduce warm timber tones and classical proportions to modern or traditional spaces.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage.
