Late Regency Mahogany X Frame Library Chair Possibly by Gillows Circa 1830

19th century
Description

Referred to by Gillows as a Spanish chair. See ‘Gillows of Lancaster & London’ by Susan E Stuart Plate 224. Stuart mentions an “elegantly simple chair with a curiously cotemporary feel, saying a similar design described as a Spanish chair was drawn in the Estimate Sketch Book on the 25th October 1823”. However, this chair also shows similarities to a design by J.C. Loudon, illustrated in his “Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm and Villa Architecture and Furniture” 1833. Plate 1911.

Neither the Gillows or Loudon illustrations have all the features of our chair, including the S scroll shaped profile back, design led castors that flow with the legs, wider arm supports and the applied central roundels.

The chair we are selling seems far richer in design and is of larger proportions.

Width of chair 64cm.

Height 100cm, Depth 93cm, Width 71cm, Seat Height 45cm

See: Christies Important English Furniture Auction 6 Apr 2000 for a similar example by J.C. Loudon. Sold for £5875 hammer price.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

Emerging in the early 19th century, Late Regency X-frame design draws inspiration from classical Roman curule seats, featuring crossed leg supports, swept armrests, and classical proportions.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid mahogany for its durability and rich grain, paired with horsehair padding, brass castors, and wool or velvet upholstery fabric.

Key indicators include hand-carved joinery, original brass castors secured with period screws, smooth reeding or scrolling on timber arms, and substantial mahogany weight.

Position the chair in a modern reading corner or study alongside a minimalist floor lamp to contrast architectural heritage with contemporary elements.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish along the wood grain annually, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and keep upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent timber drying and fabric fading.
