George II Walnut Side Chair with Floral Needlework Seat, C.1730–1750

George II Walnut Side Chair with Floral Needlework Seat, c.1730–1750

An attractive early 18th-century English walnut side chair, dating to the George II period, circa 1730–1750.

The chair features an elegantly shaped vase splat beneath a gently curved top rail with rounded shoulders, supported by slender, shaped uprights. The upholstered drop-in seat is covered in colourful floral needlework, worked in shades of blue, green and cream against a neutral ground.

The shaped seat rails are raised on cabriole front legs terminating in trifid feet, with square-section rear legs and turned H-stretchers providing additional support. The chair retains pleasing proportions and the understated elegance characteristic of early Georgian furniture.

Dimensions:

Height: 102 cm (40.25 inches)

Width: 53 cm (20.75 inches)

Depth: 45.5 cm (18 inches)

Seat height: 49 cm (19.25 inches)

Condition:

Good, sound antique condition, with age-related wear and marks throughout. The surface appears to have been refinished at some point in its history, resulting in some loss of original patination. There is a split to the front left knee, as illustrated in the photographs, although the chair remains sturdy, with no loose joints. The floral needlework upholstery shows relatively little wear and remains perfectly serviceable.

An attractive and usable early Georgian chair, retaining much of its original character despite the alterations to its surface.
