A pair of substantial and well made mahogany open arm chairs in the manner of Edward William Godwin (1833-64). Stamped 'WT' to the underside of each chair. C.1890.
The design bears striking similarity to a known EW Godwin design of 1881 (ref: Spring '99.. Exhibition catalogue. London: The Fine Art Society, 1999. No. 38); a photograph of the design has been included in this listing for ease of reference.
Each chair boasts a tall slatted back lathe with a wide top rail above a recessed moulded seat, all above turned front legs and raked back legs united by finely turned H stretchers and terminating in brass castors.
The chairs show signs of light wear commensurate with age with some scuffs in areas and some small areas of wear to the finish (please see photographs). Generally both chairs remain in a very good handsome condition.
