Description:

A FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III MAHOGANY SIDE CHAIRS, CIRCA 1760/70, the beautifully carved cupid's bow crest centering "C" scrolls and a palmette between sinuous foliate ears issuing fluted stiles, a masterfully executed pierced splat of undulating curves and graceful lines surmounting a trapezoidal seat, upholstered in later plaid vinyl, with a gadrooned apron issuing bold acanthus carved cabriole legs ending in ball-and-claw forefeet. NOTE: Of scholarly interest, as the pair does not seem to be married, or fashioned together out of various parts, and yet features design details normally associated with various regions and schools of 18th Century cabinet makers, both American and English. Accompanying documents provide more information on the subject. Provenance: Estate of the Late James K. Schooler, Esq. Purchased from Thorpe & Foster, Dorking, Surrey, 15 September 1979, and accompanied by a copy of the original receipt of purchase, along with two letters of correspondence regarding the origin and authenticity of the chairs. Height: 38" Width: 22 3/4" Depth: 22"
