19th Century English Mahogany Desk Chair This
is a substantial and exuberantly
carved desk chair from about the third quarter of the 19th century.
It stands on its original ceramic casters, and the upholstery has been
recently renewed with dark green leather and brass nails. Condition
is excellent, with no repairs and a fine old patina. Circa 1860 |

Good mahogany armchairs are extremely difficult to find, and this is a very attractive example. The seat is wide and deep, as an armchair should be, and the fine Chippendale-form crest rail has the carved fans often identified with Scottish furniture. The well-shaped and comfortable arms end in a bold carved scroll. There is a restoration to the mounting point of one arm, and one front leg has a repaired crack. No. 1457 * Circa 1800 * Height of back 37 1/2",
seat width 22" * $5,100.00 |

George
III Period mahoganytripod table with round top Very good mid 18th century occasional or breakfast
table with a bold turned stem and a nicely figured one piece tilting
top. English tripod tables seldom used figured wood in the tops,
the cabinet makers instead having preferred straight-grained mahogany.
This is a very pleasing exception, and with good color as well. One
minor restoration has been made to the mounting block under the top,
otherwise all original. Top is straight and flat, legs and stem undamaged.
28 1/4" High, 32" diam top. |
