These chairs are a restrained expression of the Rococo style prevalent at the time. Based on a Gothic design in plate 1 from Thomas Chippendale The Gentleman's & Cabinet-maker Director, published in 1754, the interlaced pointed arches are enhanced by an unusual passage of carving surrounding the lower quatrefoil. The molded and C-scroll carved crest centers foliate decoration, above a pierced Gothic volute carved splat and trapezoidal seat frame enclosing a slip seat cushion, the front seat rail carved with C-scrolls centering a foliate reserve, raised on cabriole legs ending in ball and claw feet. Handmade and hand finished in solid rosewood.
