TWO GEORGE II STYLE EBONISED MAHOGANY AND PARCEL GILT WING ARMCHAIRS LATE 19TH/ EARLY 20TH CENTURY the first with a squared back and wings continuing to outscrolled arms above a loose cushion seat, upholstered in black fabric, the seat rail carved with shells, acanthus scrolls and satyr masks, raised on cabriole legs ending in carved paw feet; stenciled 'D&P 3298'; the second with similar back, wings and cushion, in matching black fabric, raised on acanthus carved cabriole legs ending in foliate scroll carved feet (Larger 88cm wide, 112cm high, 63cm deep) Qty: (2) Footnote: Note: The wing armchair with the carved satyr mask seat rail is a near identical copy of a chair in the Cabinet Room of Houghton Hall, Norfolk. The original was part of a suite of furniture supplied circa 1730 and covered in green velvet with silver galon. It is believed to have been made by Thomas Roberts, junior, who produced other seat furniture for the State Rooms at Houghton. The other armchair is derived from the celebrated suite of furniture at Chatsworth, Derbyshire, dated circa 1740 assumed to have been commissioned by William Cavendish, 3rd Duke of Devonshire. Later copies of seat furniture from the suite have be been attributed to the Edwardian furniture maker Lenygon and Morant, when there was a keen interest in Queen Anne and early Georgian furniture.
