 Click on photo to enlarge | Circa: 1740 Price: $8,500 A fine and small mahogany George II chest of drawers with canted corners and canted ogee bracket feet. Provenance: John Wilson Antiques |
 Click on photo to enlarge | Circa: 1815 Price: $9,850 A spectacular and very rare Regency George III period card table just back from the restorer (he has been working on it since August 2007) looking wonderful. This aristocratic table is lavishly veneered in kingwood with banding and inlay of amboyna and tulipwood. The complex quartripartite support above the outswept sabre legs encloses a tulipwood obelisk. It retains its original brass acanthus toecaps and casters. |
 Click on photo to enlarge | Circa: 1780 Price: $1,500 This fine mahogany late 18th century armchair ($1500) and side chair ($700) are in the finest British Hepplewhite tradition. However, they were made in North Germany. George Hepplewhite gave his name to a whole style of furnishings in the late 18th century. This style neatly follows Chippendale and leads into Sheraton. We have George's widow to thank for this felicity. It was she who assembled George's furniture designs and published them in a guide, following Thomas Chippendale's famous marketing coup. Hence British design flourished in America, as well as Denmark, Scandinavia and the German countries. The North German joiners have given the standard English design a little local flair by adding the arch at the base of the back. Otherwise they might be indistinguishable from the products of Bristol or London. |
 Click on photo to enlarge | Circa: 1750 Price: $6,000 A good set of four walnut George II Chippendale chaits, probably Irish C1750. These have been reglued recently, prior to our aquisition, and similarly, upholstered in brown leather. It is robust and elegant set of mid-Georgian 18th century chairs. |
 Click on photo to enlarge | Circa: 1780 Price: $8,000 A set of six George III Hepplewhite Shieldback chairs in mahogany, with square section chanelled and tapered legs, stretchers and drop-in seats. Unusually, the backs are curved (en cabriole). The patination is very good and the colour rich. Upholstered in an opulent period style embroidered silk. Now reglued (for your safety as well as your convenience) and waxed to a fine sheen. Price per Unit (SET OF SIX): $8,000.00 |
