C. stamped to the front rail. The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, records that renowned London maker John Gee allowed his craftsmen to stamp their initials; specifically, an I.C. impressed mark is uniquely documented on verified antique furniture surviving from Gee's workshop. We have added a photograph of the stamp.
Made from dense Cuban mahogany, the chair has a good colour & patina with generous proportions & is deep front to back.
The top rail has fine, beautifully carved acanthus leaves & carved scrolling details. The centre back rail has an exquisitely turned & carved rosette. The chair has scrolling arms, bulbous turned columns joining the seat rails & stands on elegant swept sabre legs. There is a drop in seat which retains its original horsehair pad. The seat has been re-upholstered from the frame & covered in high end John Boyd woven horsehair fabric.
Fully restored in our workshop & ready for use.
Height: 83cm
Width: (at front) 53cm wide
