Made from Cuban mahogany, the chair is in the George III Hepplewhite style. It has carved decoration to the back and front legs and is of excellent quality and a good colour. During the late 19th century, some of the leading cabinet makers reproduced the designs of the late 18th century but made them to a slightly larger scale. This means this chair is ideal for a tall person and can be used as a desk chair or in the drawing room. It has recently been upholstered from the frame using traditional materials and techniques and is comfortable to sit in.
