A George IV Barrel-Shape Armchair, 2nd quarter 19th century, recovered in pink floral damask, the squab cushion above a plain seat rail, on turned forelegs with brass-capped feet and castors
68cm by 60cm by 107cm
Sold for £750

The framework (ie back support) has some slight movement. The upholstery is generally good with the exception of the squab cushion, which has some faults to the zip and some of the piping (as photographed). The legs are structurally sound, but very heavily bruised (see additional images). Both rear legs spliced and with dowel repair, but done to a good standard. Some wear to the wing-back corners and the piping (as photographed). The verso of the chair has a black scuff mark (as photographed).
