Queen Anne Period Walnut Chair Cabriole Legs and Stretchers, English circa 1700

About the Item

This is a classic English walnut chair from the Queen Anne period with a beautiful mellow color and dating to circa 1700-1710. This is a very good example of this classic antique design with great character. It has a jointed and pegged construction. The design and shape of this chair is excellent. It has a hand carved vase splat of a typical thin width with a shaped top rail, all characteristic of the period. The side rails are carved rounded and rake backwards giving a distinctive curve to the side view all the way down to the base of the rear legs. The high cabriole front legs have shaped ear pieces to the top sides and the legs curve down to form pad feet. The legs are connected by a cross stretcher that has turned and shaped sections. We note that each leg is made in two vertical sections, which was sometimes the case and NOT a previous repair. The chair has a drop in seat with an old tapestry cover. This could easily be re-upholstered using a fabric of choice if required. Condition Notes: The overall condition is mainly good and what one would expect of a chair that has been used for well over 300 years. It is structurally sound and the stretchers make it strong and usable. It has some old repairs to the legs and side rails and shows signs of some old worm holes in places as is often the case with Walnut. Structurally sound and usable. That said this chair has a lovely glorious mellow color only obtained by successive generations of use and polishing.

Mid Victorian Side Chair Finely Hand Carved with Wool Work Seat, Circa 1850
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a very good quality example of an English occasional side chair in the Rococo style, from the mid Victorian period, circa 1850, made from Beech. The back is a Classic balloon back shape, but with intricate cut-out and carved detail to the frame and particularly to the cross splat. This carved detail is continued on the front legs and front stretcher. The foot of the legs are splayed slightly outwards which adds to the features of this chair. Twin side stretchers give additional strength to this chair but overall this is a delicately made chair. It has a good wool-work covered seat with a rose spray design. Please note: This chair is not a strong dining room chair and is not recommended for regular use as a chair to sit on. The chair is light and would make a very pretty bedroom or hall side chair, to be used principally for display either on its own or with say teddy bears displayed on it, or for draping light...
