Notes
These Cape 'bow-tie' chairs were made in the Victorian era and fall into the period of Cape Regency furniture.
Cape Regency furniture is recognisable by its horizontal back rails and round, tapering, ring-turned legs with no stretchers.
This style developed into the predominant style for seat furniture in South Africa during the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, and many survive today.
