Description
Regency-style armchair after Thomas Hope (1769–1831) in varnished walnut, carved and moulded, with a straight backrest featuring a band decorated with interlacing and surmounted by two finials, the curved armrests finished with lion protomes and resting on the front legs with splayed shanks, the rear legs of quadrangular section, the whole joined by an H-shaped brace. Feet with flattened balls. H: 104 – W: 75 – D: 60 cm Signs of wear, minor losses The armchair we present here was made after a well-known model from the late Regency period (c. 1830) listed in Geoffrey Beard & Judith Goodison’s publication "English Furniture 1500–1840". It incorporates elements of Thomas Hope’s decorative vocabulary – illustrated in his book “Household Furniture and Interior Decoration” published in 1807 – as well as features of the Neo-Renaissance style emerging in the early 1830s.
