It was listed by Gilt and Gesso. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Gilt and Gesso has dated this George III Painted Armchair to the 18th Century.
Attributed to Gillows by impeccable authority.
An enchanting George 111, 18th century painted elbow chair featuring 3 layers of paint from original cream, later green and finally a brown paint layer which has later blistered and caramelised in areas, structurally excellent.
A handsome elbow chair of exquisite proportions, possibly fruit or yew wood which started life or soon after painted cream which was later painted green, popular in the Regency era and then again brown, probably during the Victorian period, each layer is visible.
We are undecided whether to keep as it is or consign to the workshop to remove the brown paint layer or remain as is but so far we have just consigned to workshop to conserve and preserve the appearance and wax.., until then available as it is, an exceptional chair.
The chair sits well, stable and no worm, a very useable day to day or decorative occasional chair.
