The armchair features a straight rectangular back, topped with a central pediment to the top rail, supported by straight back supports, as well as three shaped vertical supports, including a pierced central splat. The back boasts herringbone inlay to the perimeter and central splat, and string inlay to the pediment, in a circular design, and the other vertical splats. Fine shaped arms, raised on shaped string inlaid supports, secure the back to the seat frame. The seat frame features a serpentine design to the front, as well as further herringbone inlay. The armchair has been newly upholstered in a top-quality cream coloured geometric pattern cotton & silk structured material, with matching braiding, and finished with traditional hessian backing to the underside. The seat is firm – you do not sink into it – but is very comfortable to sit on. The chair is raised on string inlaid tapering feet terminating on square pad feet to the front, and sabre legs to the rear.

Condition Report:
The armchair is in excellent condition having just been professionally re-upholstered. Therefore, the upholstery is new and free from damage, rips, and marks or fading. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There is no missing inlay to the frames. The frames and arms are solid and in excellent condition with no loose joints. The armchairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. As the armchair boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic rich colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
