A matched pair of George III mahogany and upholstered open armchairs, circa 1770, each shaped and padded oval back above a pair of padded arms with scroll terminals and moulded downswept supports, each serpentine fronted seat above a fluted frieze and square section tapering legs at the front terminating in spade feet and surmounted by patera terminals, each 87cm high, 66cm wide, 50cm deep overall These chairs have some distinctive features of the later work of Thomas Chippendale, circa 1773-5. The scrolls of the arm terminals are seen in various forms on many of his later 'salon' chairs. Lot 3 of Christie's Chippendale anniversary sale, demonstrated a similar patera to the bottom of the arm support. There are not many examples of his output that we know of that have square tapering legs and spade feet, however they do exist. Lot 7 in the same sale, a pair of hall chairs, which also have a step at the top of the legs with a sunken carved patera. The seat rail cramp cuts are also an interesting feature to note regarding these chairs.
