About the Item
19th Century oak
leather Burgermeister armchair. English. Circa 1880.
Of unusual form, this style of chair was previously known as a 'round chair', and was first made in the former Dutch colonies of Indonesia and Sri Lanka from indigenous hardwoods in the 17th/18th Century. The style is distinguishable by its semi-circular back, round seat and six legs. This example is English and made around 1880.
The chair has been fully reupholstered and finished in a quality leather by Wildman
Bugby. It is soft
silky full grain aniline leather, with a beautifully aged, worn and distressed appearance that has been achieved by hand buffing the surface of the hide.
Hand carved, the semicircular back has three pierced and foliate-carved oval medallions, flanked by baluster turnings. The seat's apron has rocaille-carved decoration and six boldly-carved cabriole legs with lion's paw feet. Each of these is joined by baluster stretchers, with a central point turning.
The oak has the original finish. There are a few shrinkage lines in places along the semi circular back. The chair has no damage or woodworm. Sturdy with no loose joints.
Additional dimensions information:
The seat height is 41cm.
Delivery is INCLUDED in the price for all areas in MAINLAND England
Wales.

Abingwood
Liberty
Co
By George Walton
Located in Norwich, GB
A superb Glasgow School Arts And Crafts oak armchair. After a design by George Walton for Liberty & Co. Circa 1895.
The chair is almost identical to the George Walton design, but has a variant shaped top to the back. Literature: Daryl Bennett, 'Liberty Furniture 1875-1915'.4 Art Furniture, Page 131, plate 4.91. Sketch illustration of George Walton design. Please see photographs.
The seating retains the original webbing and filling and has been padded and re-covered with brown leather and copperised studs. The studs are set how they were originally on the chair. Please refer to the last photograph showing the frame before re-upholstery. They have been slightly aged.

The chair has a flattened curved arm with an elongated tapering back. The Abingwood design was considered some of the most distinctive of Walton's designs, strongly influenced by C R Mackintosh...
