Notes
Chippendale's original designs from the late 18th century were primarily executed in highly polished, unpainted mahogany. Decorative painting on furniture became fashionable again in the inter-war and post-war periods when decorators were looking for a softer, more romantic take on traditional heavy Georgian interiors. These painted chairs combine Neo-classical decorative painting with a Rococo back splat, typical of revival interpretations from the mid-20th century.
Provenance
passed down through the owner's family in the UK.
painted by Freya Lincoln about 15 years ago.
