A PAIR OF GEORGE III GILTWOOD ARMCHAIRS
CIRCA 1780
Each with a rectangular guilloche-carved crestrail above a padded back and seat covered in blue and pink striped damask, over a similarly-carved seatrail, on turned tapering fluted legs ending in caps and casters

Anonymous sale; Christie’s, New York, 7 April 2006, lot 211.

Note du spécialiste

The chair frames compare to a set of fourteen supplied by Thomas Chippendale (Senior or Junior) for the White Drawing Room at Harewood House in circa 1779 (see C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p. 114, fig. 199). An interesting feature shared by both is the seatrail which runs to one-half the height of the flowered tablets that cap the legs.
