Item Description
An unusual George III mahogany wing chair of particularly tall and narrow proportions, possibly made as a hall porter's chair.
Standing on square section mahogany legs joined by an H stretcher, the back legs of outswept outline.
Wing chairs of this particular form are relatively unusual and were designed for porters working in the cold halls of the grandest houses of the period. These chairs were designed to shield the porter from the draughts as they kept watch and, like this piece, they are usually of narrow proportions with extremely high backs. The chair has an eye-catching silhouette and is also very comfortable
