A Pair of George II Carved Mahogany Gainsborough Armchairs
The serpentine backs and seats upholstered in eighteenth century gros-point floral needlework with curved arm supports carved with acanthus and flowers on a punched ground and over a seat rail with similarly carved mahogany show-wood supported by carved cabriole legs terminating in scrolled feet.
This superb pair of chairs are remarkable for the colour and depth of patination to the wood and the superbly carved seat rails which are an excellent indication of the high quality of these chairs.
English, Circa 1755
