Pair of Dining Chairs Attributed to Alexander Peter

18th century
Description

Circa 1760, pair of Scottish mahogany dining chairs attributed to Alexander Peter of Edinburgh. With shaped top rail with central shell and foliate carvings and pierced tapering splat, over a large drop-in seat pad (recently reupholstered in dyed black deer hide). The slightly outswept back legs over small pad feet with small bracing stretcher between, and a large curved stretcher at an unusual height runs to the front legs. The club-shaped front legs with framed harebells to the knees, quarter brackets and extended s-scrolls, over ball and claw feet.

Firm attribution supplied by Sebastian Pryke, and based on similarity to the design of chairs found in Dumfries House, which holds the only documented collection of furniture by Alexander Peter. The set of 22 chairs by Peter can be found in the Pink Dining Room.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.
