This
is a very rare and handsome William IV library armchair, constructed of
the best quality Mahogany and has been reupholstered with quality green
hide.
It
has a serpentine back with reeded mahogany frame. The frame and timbers
of the chair are all in fine original condition with no evidence of repairs
to the structure.
The
reclining mechanism is controlled by leavers under the arm rests which
allows the back to be tilted to an almost vertical position while the
pull out foot rest offers adjustable positions also.
The
detail carving on the arms show an Egyptian influence in their design.
The chair has finely turned front legs and matching support leg for the
foot rest and swept back rear legs. The legs have the original brass castors
which are particularly fine.
The
chair is of the highest quality similar to 'Gillows' or 'Holland &
Son' but there is no evidence of a manufacturers stamp.
