A fine George II mahogany armchair, the shaped toprail carved with C-scrolls and acanthus leaves, above a shaped, carved and pierced splat centred by rosettes. The drop in seat covered with colourful floral petit-point eighteenth-century needlework, standing on cabriole legs also carved with acanthus terminating in ball and claw feet.

This chair is a fine example. The carving is particularly high quality, and the chair has a wonderful, warm colour and patina.
