Irish William 1v Mahogany Hall Chair, Att Strahan & Co Estate Sale Label C1830s

19th century
For Sale by Gilt and Gesso
Description

William 1V Irish Mahogany Hall Chair, Att Strahan & Co Estate Sale Label C1830s.

A fine quality early 19th century, William 1V circa 1830s, mahogany Irish hall chair with circa 1900s Dublin estate sale inventory label.

A very fine, well constructed hall chair, constructed with excellent mahogany timbers and design characteristics consistent with the Dublin cabinet makers and most probably John Strahan and Co.

Many of the grand Anglo Irish estates in and around Dublin during the early 20th century were spot up and the label beneath confirms the sale of this chair was conducted by auctioneer and high end antique dealers James Ryan, 4 and 46 Upper George St, Kingstown, later renamed in 1920s. These were known to be grand estate sale premises.

The chair possesses distinct design elements of Strahan and Co, with scroll volutes around the cartouche back rest and a rare rear stretcher to the sabre rear legs and crisp reeded front legs, all characteristic of Strahan.

Presented in mostly excellent, original condition.

Originating in the 1830s during the reign of King William IV, hall chairs were non-upholstered wooden seats designed for entry halls to accommodate temporary callers and servants.

These chairs were crafted from solid dense hardwoods, predominantly Cuban or West Indian mahogany and oak, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery along with hand-carved decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces feature substantial proportions, distinctive turned or fluted legs, carved backrests often featuring crests or scrolls, and natural age-related patina or cabinetmaker stamps.

An antique hall chair serves as a sculptural accent in entryways, stair landings, or narrow corridors, pairing well alongside contemporary artwork or modern lighting.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax annually, while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and damp conditions.
