Leeds Antiques has dated this Georgian Chippendale Desk Chair to the 18th Century.
The chair features a finely pierced splat back with shaped crest rail, open scrolled arms and a drop-in upholstered seat, covered in a quality woven damask fabric in a pale blue-green tone.
The square front legs and gently shaped rear legs are united by an H-form stretcher, giving the chair a pleasing sense of proportion and stability. The frame has been finished in a pale grey painted surface with light distressing and wax polish, creating an attractive decorative appearance while retaining the character of the original form.
The seat has been recently reupholstered in a period appropriate damask fabric using traditional methods, complementing the painted finish well.
An elegant and versatile Georgian armchair, well suited for use as a desk chair, dressing table chair or occasional hall chair, making it equally at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
