Pair of British Country Squire’s George II Side Chairs

Offered by: Rockwell Antiques Dallas

Description
PRESENTING AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Pair of British Country Squire’s George II Side Chairs.

When we say that we ‘LOVE’ our antiques to be of quality, old, full of character and original these are what we are talking about !

Not a matching pair, but both English from circa 1750-60, the one on the left is elm and the one on the right is oak. Both from the same Dallas Collection, bought together in England and have been together for (at a minimum) decades !

Both inspired by the work of Thomas Chippendale and contemporaneous to Chippendale’s works.

These are “provincial’ pieces rather than the high-end more elaborate Chippendale Chairs being made for the titled aristocracy in the major cities.

These would have adorned the hallway/living area of a County Squire’s Mansion in the countryside.

Both made using wooden pins and dowels. Entirely hand crafted and carved.

It is the solid back splats that are Chippendale in style, but the rest of the chairs are what one would expect to be made for Rural utilitarian use in 1750-60.

The natural patina is SIMPLY GORGEOUS and despite the few minor repairs and cracks/nicks over the centuries they are mainly untouched and should remain that way !

Provenance: From a Dallas Private Collection.

Condition: Good original condition. One repair to back splat and one historic repair to front right of seat of elm chair. One crack to seat of oak chair. The rest are natural wear and tear as are evident from pics.

Dimensions: Elm Chair (on left) is 38 inches Tall, 20.5 inches Wide and 20 inches Deep. Seat Height is 17 inches.

Oak Chair (on right) is 37 inches Tall, 19 inches Wide and 19 inches Deep. Seat Height is 18 inches.
