Pair Of Regency Mahogany Carver Armchairs (England, circa 1820)
An Exceptional Quality Pair Of Early 19th Century, Regency Period Mahogany Carver Armchairs, Having Superbly Figured Top Rails With Carved Decoration And Elegant Pierced Horizontal Back Splats, The Downswept Scrolling Arms Over Drop In Seats, Raised On Elegant Reeded Turned Legs.
There are a few different theories as to where the term carver chair originates, but we rather like the simple one of a carver chair always being at the head and foot of the table and therefore occupied by the carver of the meat. Whichever way you look at it carver chairs are normally bolder, slightly larger and generally just more impressive than a normal dining chair.
Of course these days carver chairs can be used be used in many places around the home, as desk chairs, bedroom chairs or even spare hall chairs, as opposed to just being used around the dining table.
This pair of regency carver chairs are of exceptional quality, constructed from rich, well figured, dense mahogany timbers. They are of a good bold size and boast importance as well as elegance. They also have some exceptional carved decoration and very elegant reeded legs.
As fit for purpose as the day which they were made this pair of regency desk chairs are solid and fucntional. They have clearly been well loved and well looked after. The fabric upholstery is in pretty good condition, but has clearly been in place for a a few years and has a few old blemishes upon close inspection.
