Lot 158
A George III window seat, circa 1775, mahogany, with upholstered rectangular seat, continuing to rolled arms with conforming rolling frame, scrolled up the arms, the serpentine seat rail centred by a circular disc, continuing to moulded cabriole legs with floral sprays to the knees and leaf carved toes (with repairs), 104cm wide, 67cm high, 39.5cm deep. Note: This stool, designed in the French taste, has elegantly formed moulded cabriole legs following a design that first appeared in France in the early 1750s. The first documented example of this style is seen on a suite of furniture, which included a pair of card tables, fourteen armchairs and two sofas, which were supplied by Thomas Chippendale for the Drawing Room at Dumfries House in 1759. The stool is executed in carved mahogany, a timber seldom used in France by chair makers who preferred to use the softer walnut or beech, painted or gilded. It probably formed part of a larger suite of furniture that would have been placed in a drawing room, either in window bays or tiers, being drawn into the centre of the room as necessary.
