拍品描述
A GEORGE II WALNUT SIDE CHAIR CIRCA 1730 The drop in seat upholstered in William Morris, Morris & Co 'Rose and Thistle' indigo block printed linen fabric 107cm high, 53cm wide, 54cm deep In the 18th century, this chair type was commonly known as an 'India-back chair', 'bended', 'crook'd' or 'sweep' back chair. With its distinctive pierced baluster-shaped splat, turned upright posts and crest rail loosely resembling a milkmaid's yoke, this term was a reference to Chinese prototypes on which such chairs were based - the term 'India' encompassing all of South and South-east Asia. Adam Bowett writes that the introduction of the 'India-back' chair is 'the most radical and far-reaching design innovation of the eighteenth century' (Bowett, p. 156). A similar chair to the one offered here is illustrated on the trade card of Thomas Cleare, who worked at the sign of the Indian Chair in St. Paul's Churchyard in the 1720s and 30s (Bowett, p. 162, Plate 4:35). The present chair is related to one in the Frederick Parker Collection (FPF045), illustrated in Bowett, p. 165, Plate 4:37, and another in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (W.49:2-1981). Literature: A. Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture 1714-1740, Woodbridge, 2009.
