A SET OF SIX GEORGE III CARVED GILTWOOD ARMCHAIRS, ATTRIBUTED TO GILLOWS

A SET OF SIX GEORGE III CARVED GILTWOOD ARMCHAIRS ATTRIBUTED TO GILLOWS, CIRCA 1790 88cm high, 52.5cm wide, 50cm deep This set of chairs conform to Gillows’ 'Garforth pattern', which first appeared in 1795. The design was probably an adaptation of Georges Jacob's design of circa 1792 for Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet. In 1796 the Earl of Strafford purchased six white and green japanned chairs of this design for Wentworth Woodhouse, and Sir William Gerard ordered thirty-six mahogany chairs for Garswood New Hall, Lancashire. The design was adopted by the influential architect/designer Sir John Soane (d. 1837). He commissioned the set of twenty 'mahogany trellis chairs' for the Governor’s Room at The Bank, supplied in 1809 by the cabinet-maker David Bruce (d. 1823) of Aldersgate Street, London (see M. Jourdain, 'Early 19th-Century Furniture at the Bank of England’, Country Life, 3 October 1947, p. 676, fig. 2). Soane owned a pair of armchairs of the Bank design at his own home at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, now the Soane Museum, and adapted the design for a set of dining-chairs supplied by John Robins in 1821. Robins' invoice described these as 'trellis back chairs moulded & Paneled [sic] seats French stuffed covered with black Spanish Morocco red welts [and] stout turned feet to pattern’. For a comparable set of twelve chairs, see Christie’s, London, 29 April 2010, lot 86, (£46,850 including premium).
