18th century

Sold by Alexander George Antiques Ltd.

Description

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.
