Exceptional antique “Gainsborough” elbow chair upholstered in fine opulent silk damask, well carved Cuban mahogany frame in the Georgian taste

£975.00

*The term “Gainsborough chair” is thought to have been given due to the master painter Thomas Gainsborough (Suffolk 1727-1788) using this style of chair in his portraits.
Some of the floral and lattice work in the carving in this chair has a Chonoiserie “Chinese Chippendale” influence.
