WILLIAM III / QUEEN ANNE WALNUT SIDE CHAIR,
with Iberian Influence
England, c1700-1710
An early high-backed form having Iberian influence, the top rail with the rectangular convex cresting,
surmounting a cyma-curved vasiform splat pierced at the top, above an upholstered stuff-over seat raised
on front “hipped” cabriole legs with squared knees and ending in pad feet, well formed serpentine
stretchers connecting to the rear legs, which are joined by a further baluster turned stretcher
Note: This particular form is somewhat rare and dated by construction. The stretcher and hipped
cabriole legs with squared knees reflect Iberian (Spanish & Portuguese) influence. The vacant space
between the stuff-over seat and the back disappeared in England about 1710, with the cabriole leg
coming into England at about 1700.
Condition: Very good to excellent, with several very well done old repairs, including the stretcher, with some
remaining roughness at one rear joint; both rear block legs (end repair); each front pad foot toes;
knee returns probably replaced (very well matched); very tight, strong, and ready for use
43" H x 21.75"W x 23.5"D
