A wonderfully drawn early 18th century George I walnut shepherd''s crook armchair covered in period needlework, circa 1730. England.
A simply exquisite example of an early 18th-century shepherd''s crook armchair dating from the reign of George I.
It should be noted that the chair has the most wonderful proportions, colour and age-patinated surfaces throughout.
The well formed walnut shepherds crook arms lead down to the period needlework upholstered bell-shaped seat and out swept cabriole legs carved to the knee with a shell and pendent, terminating on pad feet.
Similarly, the curved back is upholstered in period needlework depicting a couple, presumably courting in period dress.
