A Fine Pair of 1920s Walnut and Leather Wing Chairs in the Late Baroque Manner and of Baronial Size and Scale These large wing chairs are of a scale befitting of a baronial manor house or other country mansion. Of conventional form and newly upholstered in our workshops in patinated leather aged in the traditional manner, the chairs have outscrolling arms and deep backs. The backs are buttoned for that Chesterfield look. There are removable leather squab cushions as well. The upholstery nailing on the leather contrasts beautifully against the patinated hide and the frames of the pieces are executed in finely carved walnut in the late baroque manner, the front stretchers beautifully carved with figures, probably angels or putti, flanking a heart motif and probably suggesting that the chairs were made as a his and hers marital set. The short cabriole legs are reminiscent of those seen on William and Mary period pieces. The chairs were made around 1920 when there was a renewed fascination with pieces from the age of oak and walnut, leading to dealers such as Gill and Reigate, Lenygon and Morant, Druce and Co...

The Chairs having stuffover seats with gadrooned borders, supported on blind fret carved cabriole legs with scrolled toes. For similar examples see Chippendale's Director, 'French Chairs' Plate XXI Further information: Similar examples of our Library Armchairs can be found in the third edition of Thomas Chippendale book Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director (1762). The pair resembles the right chair design in Plate XXI, catalogued by Chippendale as “French Chairs”. He described in his book that this model “may be executed to advantage, some of them are intended to be open below at the back: which makes them very light without having a bad effect.’ His design illustrates his familiarity with the fashionable French Rococo style represented by the curvilinear form of the chair and scrolled feet. The carved surface decoration on our Chairs is much less elaborate than that on the published design and is more reminiscent of the work of Robert Manwaring...
