Beschreibung:

A pair of Regency mahogany library bergeres, circa 1815, attributed to Gillows, the scrolling top rail above the reeded back and down swept moulded supports, the leather button upholstered loose cushion seats above reeded turned tapering legs terminating in tapering feet at the front, the seat rail of a chair stamped with workman's initials, each 85cm high, 50cm wide, 51cm deep For a closely related pair of chairs see Sotheby's Arts of Europe, 3rd December 2013, Lot 226(£17,500). For a further comparable pair of chairs see Sotheby's London, An Exceptional Eye, A British Collection, 14th July 2010, lot 107 (£17,500) The stamp to the seat rail of one chairs appears to read 'H H' indistinctly and may possibly be a workman's stamp. According to Susan Stuart, 'HH' is one of the most common initial stamps recorded on chairs made by Gillows in the first half of the 19th century. In Stuart's book it is explained with known examples that the stamp may belong to Henry Howard however that Henry Holmes might be a better candidate as he was a known Gillows journeyman. (Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster & London, Antique Collectors Club, 2008, vol.II, page 244).
