Status: Sold

A substantial Chippendale-style carved mahogany dining suite comprising six side chairs and a pair of open armchairs, executed in a rich, warm brown finish. Each chair is fashioned with a shaped crest rail enriched by scrolling and floral carving, above a pierced and carved splat of ribbon-and-foliate character, the stiles similarly worked with trailing ornament. The seats appear to be upholstered in a pale damask-pattern textile, set within molded frames with carved apron decoration, and raised on cabriole legs terminating in bold claw-and-ball feet, a hallmark of the Chippendale vocabulary. The armchairs feature outscrolled arms on shaped supports, repeating the suite’s sculptural profiles. Designed to provide an assertive, traditional anchor for a formal dining interior, the set demonstrates an emphasis on ornamental carving and the enduring appeal of 18th-century English revival forms. Size: 25 x 22 x 39" Bid per piece, final bid x 8
