Fine Set of Twelve Regency Dining Chairs

Fine Set of Twelve Regency Dining ChairsAn elegant set of twelve Regency mahogany dining chairs, in the manner of Gillows. England, circa 1815. Why we like them These superb quality, very stylish dining chairs, of a particularly elegant design, executed in the finest solid mahogany that is beautifully faded to a mellow colour. Design This quintessentially Regency design with tablet backs, rope twist bars, scrolled arms and reeded legs, often referred to as 'Trafalgar', is one of Gillows'

modelled perched on a stump adorned with lingzhi fungus

having a rear-drop leaf

its illustrations resemble those in popular horticultural publications

Its super heavy quality mahogany has naturally mellowed over time to the most splendid and sought after golden colour that you will ever see on a French piece of furniture

candelabras or plants can be found in the Chippendale's 'Director'

This pair was likely a high-end "souvenir" of the original

For a virtually identical set please see Sotheby's London
