A set of six George III painted hall chairs, circa 1780, the oval backs with a radiating design centred on oval cartouches with the Askew crest, the solid seats on square tapered legs joined by strerchers, each stamped HA on the rail, 98cm high, 53cm wide, 50cm deep This set of six painted hall chairs relate to a design by Ince & Mayhew for hall chairs in the late eighteenth century. The chairs, especially in the design of the seat and legs, share similarities with the designs of Gillows of Lancaster who designed hall chairs for several clients in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, including John Christian at Belle Isle, Windermere and Thomas Clifton at Lytham Hall, Lancashire. The chairs depict two armorials, both of which relate to the Askew family as described in Fairbairn s Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland. One of the armorials shows an arm holding a sword pierced with a Saracen s head that includes the phrase Fac et Spera, Do and Hope, in a banner above, while the other armorial shows an ass facing left. The mark HA is stamped underneath each chair rail, which suggests that these chairs were made for Henry Askew (1729-1796). Henry Askew attended Cambridge University and practiced as a physician. Askew lived at the Redheugh Estate in County Durham, which was the Askew family home from 1748 through the 1880s. Henry Askew is buried at St. Nicholas, Newcastle on Tyne with a memorial depicting his coats of arm and the pierced head with motto Fac et Spera that appears on the chairs. Please note: one chair appears to be later associated to the set
