Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Georgian mahogany carver, in the style of Chippendale, with a “ribbon back” design, ideal as a dining / desk or occasional chair, with an upholstered red seat, circa 1800, in excellent original condition. This strong and heavy chair is constructed of solid mahogany and feature a shaped top rail, with pierced “ribbon back”, flanked by vertical rails, which secure the shaped arms. The Georgian mahogany carver features a drop-in seat within a fine twin-moulded seat frame. The chair frame is raised on chamfered block front legs, with sabre legs to the rear and the legs are united by a sturdy “H” stretcher. The drop-in seat is upholstered in a pale red draylon upholstery. The seat is generously padded and firm, but comfortable at the same time – you do not sink into the seat. The existing upholstery is clean and free from wear and marks. If you do not like the fabric, we can re-cover the seat in a fabric of your choice. We charge £25 labour for this upholstery service.

This Georgian mahogany armchair boasts the original polish therefore, it has a good depth of colour and patination, displaying a lovely mellow brown colour.

This Georgian mahogany carver, would look good anywhere, in either a traditional or contemporary setting, for formal or everyday use, as an occasional, office, desk or dining chair. It would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional.

History of Thomas Chippendale:
These chairs have been produced in the style of the Chippendale period. The period, from 1755 – 1780, is named for the famous English cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, who published a book of furniture designs in 1754, entitled The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director. It had a strong influence on the cabinetmakers of the day, which incorporated the styles within the book into the furniture they produced. The Chippendale style contained influences from Roman and Gothic styles, including Gothic arches, Chinese fretwork, columns, capitals, C-scrolls, S-scrolls, ribbons, flowers, leaves, scallop shells, gadrooning and acanthus leaves. Construction predominantly made use of materials such as mahogany, walnut, maple and cherry. Source:
