Item Details

A late 19th century satinwood open armchair, the sweeping lyre-form back framed by ebonised stringing and topped by a cresting rail set with a fan patera inlay, over a pierced arcaded splat centred by a bone inlay depicting a classical putto, all set over an upholstered seat flanked by shaped arms and raised on ring-turned legs united by stretchers.


Directly referencing Thomas Sheraton’s 1790s Neo-Classical designs, late Victorian London workshops executed these light satinwood forms with exceptional precision, using minute hand-engraved cross-hatching across the bone and timber inlays, as showcased in the butterfly-winged putto motif. With its compact proportions and airy lyre back, the piece functions effortlessly at a writing desk, within a dressing room or as a decorative accent in a bedroom.


Very good antique condition, showing minor surface wear and authentic patination consistent with age. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.


English, circa 1890.
