-
Description
Pair of late 19th century wing back armchairs with mahogany frames, carved front legs with shell motif and ball and claw feet, recently reupholstered in handsome green wool plaid, English circa 1880.
Sold as a pair.
height: 45 in. (114 cm.), width: 32 in. (81 cm.), depth: 30 in. (76 cm.),
arm height: 25 in. (64 cm.), seat height: 21 in. (53 cm.).
The ball-and-claw foot is a furniture termination in the shape of a bird’s or dragon’s claw clutching a pearl, ball or jewel, believed to be an old Chinese motif symbolizing world power. It appeared in Europe in Romanesque furniture and in the Dutch designs of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was also popular in Georgian England in the first half of the 18th century, and appears in American Chippendale furniture.
