About the Item
An English 18th-century carved mahogany library armchair - or bergère - of good rich colour.
George III, circa 1780.
This antique Sheraton-period armchair, sometimes described as a bergère (bergere) chair, is raised on reeded square tapering legs which merge, headed by a carved rosette panel, to support the arms via free-standing carved, reeded, shaped columns.
The square moulded show-wood top rail is centred by a raised and fluted panel.
An elegant, well-proportioned and comfortable Georgian drawing-room armchair. Also suitable for use as a desk chair. Well patinated, sturdy in the joints and ready-to-use.
Measures:
W 72 cm (28 1/2”)
D 70 cm (27 1/5”)
