ITEM SW01438: A Pair of Edwardian Satinwood Shieldback Painted Open Armchairs, England, late 19th Century ex. Pebble Hill Plantation

These magnificent chairs came to us from a collection assembled by The Pebble Beach Plantation. There are a number of pieces on our site from this collection, which you should additionally view. (Click here for more Pebble Hill Plantation pieces.)

Satinwood has always been a most desirable wood, and used on some of the finest pieces of English 19th century Hepplewhite furniture. Additionally, the painting on this furniture style is truly exquisite, and as many point out, it's unfortunate that these painters did not sign their work, because the craftsmanship is spectacular. Note the subtle painting on the arms, the legs, and, of course, the shield. The work is first rate.

These chairs are in absolutely perfect condition. A related painted chair of the genre is illustrated in the Best of Painted Furniture, by Florence Dampierre.

Height: 38 1/2 in. Seat Height: 18 in. Width: 21 1/2 in. Depth: 18 in.
