"Sheraton Revival" Lady's Chair - £175.00

frame with beautifully turned legs and stretchers, this
chair dates from the early part of the 20th century.

A
Rare Pair of Wavy Stick Back Low Ebonised Chairs with
Cane Seats - Liberty & Co Catalogue 1890 - £695.00
This is
an exceptional pair of top quality Arts & Crafts
Movement ebonised "His and hers" low chairs.
They are nursing chair height so possibly may have originally
been made for children. They are both in original unmolested
condition. The seats have been recaned by us and are
therefore perfect and good for another 40 years! No
replacement parts, loose joints or damage to the framework
of either the armchair or side chair.
This particular
design is a recognised Liberty retail line of the 1890's,
and has all of the "Arts and crafts" design
features advocated by the major designers of the time
- Ernest Gimson, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow
School. However what sets this pair apart is the fact
that they have canework seats - most of the rare examples
that do become available are invariably armchairs with
rush seats - these two may have been a special commission
- it is highly unusual to have a matching pair, especially
at this price!
For the
serious collector. |
