About this Item
Cape Regency stinkwood and riempie rusbank, 19th century
the shaped top rail above vertical spindles and plain mid-rail, downcurved arm supports, riempie seat, raised on tapering baluster-turned legs
height: 88cm; width: 94cm; depth: 63cm
Notes
This rusbank, with its straight horizontal lines, turned back slats and legs, and the absence of stretchers, puts it firmly in the last Cape style period referred to as 'Regency'. Although this style corresponds to English Regency, it developed distinctive characteristics of its own and survived for almost a century in South Africa.
Provenance
Private Collection.
