An XVIII Century Mahogany Chamber Horse, with bow front top rail, turned finials, on tapering block supports, seat with concertina action, foot board. *Exercise chairs such as this were known as 'chamber horses' as they were designed to imitate the up-and-down motion of horseback riding. This peculiar exercise equipment was especially fashionable among the over-indulgent upper and middle classes, who would bounce up and down on the chair to burn off the effects of their rich diets. The 'rider' would sit on the seat and press down on the metal springs inside the bellows-like portion, which would then bounce the 'rider' back up again. This was regarded as excellent exercise and a cure for many ailments when one was not physically able to ride a horse. It was invented as early as 1740 by Henry Marsh of Clare Market and widely used throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. It was so popular that a version was made as a nursery ride for the children of King George III and it could even be rented by the hour at apothecary shops for six cents an hour. It was notably illustrated in Thomas Sheraton's Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book in 1803. Similar examples can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and in the National Trust Collection at Belton House, Lincolnshire.
