Early 18th Century George I Walnut Side Chair with Needlepoint Seat, C.1710–1730

Early 18th Century George I Walnut Side Chair with Needlepoint Seat, c.1710–1730

A charming early 18th century George I walnut side chair, dating to around c.1710–1730. The chair has a well-shaped rounded top rail above a pierced and shaped vase splat, with cabriole front legs, pad feet and a traditional stretcher arrangement below. The original frame has a lovely mellow colour and pleasing early surface, with the kind of patina and wear one would hope to see on a chair of this age.

The drop-in seat is upholstered in attractive later needlepoint, probably early 20th century, which is very much in keeping with the period and gives the chair a pleasing decorative presence. The rear and underside show appealing age, with oxidised timber, original construction and an honest historic surface throughout. A very decorative and usable single chair, ideal as an occasional chair, bedroom chair, hall chair or desk-side accent.
