Superb Georgian Mahogany Elbow Chair c1780

This is a stylish Georgian elbow chair which would be ideal for a smart drawing room or sitting room.The elbow design would of course make it a very comfortable chair in which to sit and work at a desk.

The chair is a typical example of elegant and understated Georgian design in superb quality solid Cuban mahogany. The rectangular back consists of three vertical splats, each with a central carved patera, bounded by outswept arms with paper scroll carving to the ends and a stuff over seat on square tapering legs.

The stuff over seat has been traditionally upholstered (using horsehair not foam, webbing etc) and covered in an expensive strie design fabric by Colefax and Fowler in shades of cream and sand, complimented by an attractive braid from the Wemyss Houles company in France.

Overall, this is a good Georgian chair that would be an elegant addition to any home.
