Rare Attributed to Gillows Regency Armchair Hand Dyed Brown Leather Hand-Painted

A very good looking and classically designed Regency piece, if you google Regency Gillow’s armchair you will see this exact piece, its listed “attributed to” because we can’t find the stamp without removing the entire upholstery, that said a lot of their pieces weren’t stamped because they were so clearly made by them. The look and feel is absolutely timeless, this chair looks wonderful in any setting

The timber is fruitwood which has been painted to reflect rosewood, it’s been expertly executed and only a trained eye can see the finish is painted, this was clearly a customer commission and not an uncommon practice in the Regency to Victorian era. The ends of the arms are finished with bronze floral mounts. I have removed the base cover of the chair so you can see its period and has been hand cut, we will, of course, hand nail tack a hessian base cover back in place prior to dispatch

The chair has been fully restored to include being hand dyed this lovely deep whisky brown colour, the hide has natural imperfections and marks from honest use and fair ware
