A SET OF FOUR REGENCY MAHOGANY HALL CHAIRS
EARLY 19TH CENTURY
Each with eagle head-carved cresting over an openwork urn back on reeded sabre legs

Note du spécialiste

This set of chairs is derived from the antique patterned chair-back with pelta-shields born by Roman eagles illustrated in Thomas Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary, 1803, pl. 31. Sheraton's pattern appears to be refined from a richly-carved hall-seat that featured in the Lady Lever Art Gallery (see P. Macquoid, English Furniture, Tapestry and Needlework of the XVIth - XIXth Centuries, London, 1928, vol. 111, no. 266).
