Thomas Chippendale

A pair of giltwood armchairs

Ronald Phillips Ltd

Date 1780

Epoque George III

Origine English

Medium Giltwood

Dimension 93 x 65 x 66 cm (36⁵/₈ x 25⁵/₈ x 26 inches)

Note: The frames have been re-gilded.
The design of the chairs overall corresponds to the output of Chippendale's workshop.  The sinuous curve of the back and serpentine front as well as the exceptionally high quality carving lead to a leading London cabinet maker whilst the Anthemion cresting, husk carved tablet, typical scroll arm finial, blocked tapering legs with finely leaf carved toes and clamping notches leave no doubt about the authorship of these chairs.
