Pair of Georgian Walnut Side Chairs

England Ca. 1760

A pair of Georgian Walnut side chairs, ca. 1760. The crest rail is a “cupid’s bow” form with beautifully carved ears and volutes. The pierced back splat above two square front legs and “H” form leg stretches. The upholstery is usable but sagging a bit.

Condition

Good Condition. As these are walnut and not mahogany the elements have done their work. All evidence of 250+ years of use have not
been sanded away by overzealous restoration. The chairs are sturdy and some areas of bug damage have been filled and all areas of bug damage that could be accessed have been strengthened. Most of the early finish has been retained and all the historic signs of use are visible. They are sturdy and only need re-upholstering.

A very fine quality New England Pre-Revolutionary War era chair in an excellent state of preservation. It appears to retain it’s original brown wash and finish. Vertical proportions suggest Connecticut or Massachusetts. A nearly identical example is illustrated in Antiques from the Israel Sack Collection, Vol. VI, P. 1614
