Pair of Victorian Cabriole Leg Stools

A very nice pair of mid-Victorian period stools. The frames in solid rosewood , with over-stuffed upholstered seats. With cabriole legs with carved details to the knees. Bearing the original makers stamp for Hindley Son (probably Charles Hindley & Sons) and a retailers label for B Taylor & Sons. Cleaned and waxed in our workshops and now offered for sale in very good original condition. Some very minor marks to the upholstery. Dimensions: Width 48cms Depth 45cms Height 44cms Charles Hindley & Sons was a true furnishing business providing everything from carpets and wall coverings to furniture and mirrors. Naturally well designed and constructed, their pieces reflected the popular Gothic Revival and Aesthetic styles popular at the time. Their works were exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 as well as subsequent noted Exhibitions until the firm finally closed its doors in 1892. Today the Charles Hindley & Sons stamp on surviving furniture is appreciated and collected for its superior quality and elegant design. Benjamin Taylor & Sons is recorded at various addresses starting in Southwark in 1805. He is listed at 97 New Bond Street by 1871, and advertises under the same address in 1872 as “cabinet makers, etc” on the occasion of the London International Exhibition.
