A Fine Pair of George II Walnut Side Chairs

A fine pair of George II walnut side chairs. 

Each with an imbricated shell carving at the hooped crestrail over a back splat with gadrooned scrollwork and diapered panel, flanked by shaped molded uprights, the drop-in seats are set into a carved rail and raised on cabriole legs with slipper feet. Inscribed VII and VIII. Most likely part of a larger set belonging to Lord Zouche as recorded at Parham Park, Sussex.

The chairs have been expertly upholstered in Pierre Frey's Le Manach Victor Hugo, a beautiful multicoloured Toile de Tours reproducing a lampas from the second half of the 17th century with a stylised floral motif in a symmetrical composition.
