About the Item

A pair of Regency Period bergères After a Design by Thomas Sheraton Constructed from goncalo alves, the chairs with curved backs supported on reeded front legs and splayed legs to the rear, each with brass casters, the front rail blocks with carved paterae, issuing scrolling lappet volutes and exposed solid rosewood backrails. Each chair stamped with the journeyman’s initals “I.M.” English, Circa 1820 The design for this pair of tub chairs is derived from Thomas Sheraton’s Cabinet Dictionary, published in 1803.
