A rare Charles II joined oak panel-back open armchair, South-West Yorkshire/Derbyshire, circa 1675
The arched pierced and carved cresting centred with unusual geometric motifs or symbols, flanked by mask-carved pointed finials, above flowerhead-carved ears, the back with a narrow panel carved with flowing scrolls, over a stylized palmette-flower carved larger panel, the carved downswept open arms raised on ball-turned front supports, the boarded seat above a carved front seat rail, the ball-turned front legs joined by rectangular and narrow run-moulded stretchers all round, 60cm wide x 53cm deep x 108cm high, (23 1/2in wide x 20 1/2in deep x 42 1/2in high)
|This chair exhibits several rare features, which include: the piercing to the cresting rail, which is traditionally solid; the unusual geometric symbols to the cresting; the mask pointed finials; the flower-petals carved to the rear uprights (above the arm joints) which are often simply moulded or left plain; the carving to the top and sides of the arms, particularly the pendant leaves near the rear joint; the shaped underside to the end of each arm, which is normally plain or simply rounded; along with the carved front seat rail, that is again traditionally plain, or run-moulded.Literature:Tobias Jellinek, Early British Chairs and Seats 1500 to 1700 (2009), p.66, pl.43 illustrates an armchair in The Burrell Collection, Glasgow, with a pierced arched carved cresting rail and pointed finials.
