Georgian Gothic Revival Chesterfield armchair in leather, circa 1800.

We are delighted to offer for sale this very rare original Irish Georgian arrowback manor chair from around 1800 in the Gothic revival style. A highly aesthetic, collectible, and decorative chair. It is inspired by early Gothic designs in solid wood; this late Irish Georgian version is designed to be used as a desk chair. The structure is finely carved from solid mahogany, with sublime details, making this model a unique piece among thousands of chair variations. The leather upholstery is thick and durable, the wood has a beautiful warm patina, and the padding is original horsehair. The item has been cleaned, waxed, and polished from top to bottom, showcasing an authentic and reflective patina. A complete restoration, including a manual dyeing of the leather in deep cigar brown and sanding followed by French polishing of the wood, can be carried out upon request and quotation. Dimensions: height 99 cm, width 68.5 cm, depth 64.5 cm, measurements taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our warehouses in Wimbledon. Condition: please refer to the very detailed photos that are an integral part of the description regarding the condition. Note that original vintage leather items will always show a natural patina with cracks, creases, and wear; regular waxing is recommended to prevent moisture loss. It is also advised not to expose hand-dyed leather to direct sunlight for long periods to avoid drying and discolouration.
