Description: | This English walnut ‘easy' chair is copied from a Continental model. The chair has a shaped back and scrolled arms covered in gold velvet and fitted with a loose cushion. The apron with small applied roundels are supported on octagonal tapered legs terminating abruptly, indicating that the legs have been shortened by about two inches (5cm) possible when the nineteenth century castors were applied. The legs are united by shaped flat H-form stretchers with part turning in the centre of the central stretcher. The faces of the octagonal legs are veneered with panels of burr walnut; a sign of particular sophistication. All the upholstery is twentieth century and the original or possible shaping of the frame is difficult to assess as it is all covered. The right hand front leg has cut and rejoined and a and central dependency from the apron is probably absent. Additions And Alterations: Legs cut down; twentieth century upholstery | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9127... | Go to resource |
