Description

A sophisticated pair of occasional chairs combining classical and Aesthetic Movement elements. The cut-velvet seat covers are probably original, although uniformly faded.

The chairs would have been described at the time as 'fancy chairs' intended as decorative objects for occasional use. As a consequence these chairs are not robust and several of the stretchers have been re-glued where they join the legs. Both chairs have a few isolated spots of historic worm.

*The firm of J.S Henry flourished in London from the late 1870's, moving to a five storey premises in Old Street by 1891. Henry is recorded as designing artistic furniture, however J. Montague Ellwood probably conceived much of the firms output. In the late 1890's C.F.A Voysey provided designs for the firm as did E.G Punnett.

Interestingly, while exclusively a wholesale business in London, the firm also had a showroom and workshop in Glasgow.

*Specific details from BIFMO, The Furniture History Society online.

Reliable transport throughout the UK can be easily arranged at cost price, International shipping is also undertaken.

FAQs

Art Furniture emerged in late 19th-century Britain as part of the broader Arts and Crafts movement, which rejected mass production in favour of handcrafted design, traditional craftsmanship, and artistic integrity.

These pieces typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, joined using traditional mortise and tenon techniques, often featuring upholstered drop-in seats and hand-carved decorative splats.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, natural patination on the timber, hand-applied finishes, and construction methods consistent with late 19th-century cabinet making workshops.

They can be used as distinctive accent pieces in a modern living room or study, contrasting clean architectural lines with the rich texture and warm tones of historic timber.

Keep timber pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax while avoiding liquid polishes.
