Pair of Georgian Revival Leather Gainsborough Chairs

1900 - 1920
Description

A handsome pair of Georgian Revival Gainsborough armchairs of generous proportions, raised on square fluted front legs with elegant swept rear legs, united by an H-frame stretcher for added strength and stability.

Each chair is upholstered in dark green leather hide, complemented by traditional antique brass studwork that neatly outlines the upholstery and enhances the chairs' timeless character.

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

A Gainsborough chair, also known as a French chair, is characterised by a wide seat, a tall upholstered back, and open padded armrests supported by a solid timber frame.

Traditional construction incorporates solid mahogany for the exposed frame alongside full-grain leather or woven damask upholstery secured with brass studding.

Authentic Revival pieces feature traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved mahogany accents, and natural age patina on the leather and timber surfaces.

These chairs are commonly placed in pairs opposite a sofa, integrated into a study alongside a dark wood desk, or positioned as accent seating in a reading room.

Leather upholstery requires periodic conditioning with specialist balm, while mahogany frames should be dusted with a dry microfibre cloth and kept away from direct heat sources.
