PAIR OF QUEEN ANNE / GEORGE I RED WALNUT SIDECHAIRS

England, c1715

 

 

 

 

Each arched shaped crestrail over a shaped stile and vasiform cyma-curved splat above a rounded seatrail with slip seat having a crewel embroidery covering, raised on cabriole legs ending in pad feet and joined by block and turned stretchers to nicely raked back legs ending in block feet; peg construction; beautiful rich warm color and graining; excellent patination;

incised II and IIII to the back seatrails; original seat frames

 

Note :

Although there is some discussion whether red walnut is actually straight grained mahogany trimmed from the tighter or burled grain mahoganies in the 1720's, this wood has a different color than the usual mahogany - much yellower, brighter and with more grain.  The color is also warmer than most walnut.  I am thus taking the liberty of using the term "red walnut" for this pair of chairs.

 

Condition : Excellent with nicks and scratches as appropriate to age; repair to right upper stile on one chair; one back stretcher is set higher and has a very slight variation in to crestrail, the variations characteristic of early chairs being made by more than one craftsman

   

38.5” High x 21” Wide x 22” Deep
