18th Century English Walnut Wing Chair C.1720

Early 18th Century English Queen Anne/George I Walnut Wing Chair with Cabriole Legs. Circa 1720. A rare survivor in excellent condition. This grand chair was made either late in the Queen Anne period or early in the reign of George I. The restrained cabriole front legs, with relatively little curve to them, are a feature of some of these early 18th century wing chairs, as are the pad feet. The back is sculptural in shape. The grained walnut used throughout has attained a beautiful colour and patination. The chair stands beautifully and has been upholstered to an under finish, with a squab cushion, ready for the client's choice of final upholstery or could be left as-is for a contemporary look.
