Pair of 18th Century English Queen Anne Side Chairs
Pair of 18th Century English Queen Anne Side Chairs
Some furniture asks to be admired. These chairs expect to be lived with.
A true 18th century pair in the Queen Anne manner, their proportions are so correct they feel inevitable. The yoke crest flows into a vase splat with a line that is confident, almost calligraphic. Cabriole legs land in pad feet that give the whole composition a grounded, self assured stance. Nothing is exaggerated. Nothing is timid. This is design reduced to what matters.
The mahogany carries the depth that only long handling can create, a surface softened by time rather than refinishing. The recent upholstery in Harris tweed is a quiet stroke of genius. Rugged, tailored, unmistakably British, it sharpens the silhouette and adds a note of lived in elegance. Brass nailheads trace the seat with subtle punctuation.
These are not decorative side chairs. They are chairs with backbone. Put them in a room and everything else starts to look slightly unsure of itself.
