A George III mahogany side chair
in the manner of Paul Saunders
Circa 1760, on cabochon embedded rocaille and scrolled cartouche wrapped acanthus and C-scroll carved cabriole front legs terminating in scrolled foliate clasped feet, with beech splayed rear legs, 61cm wide x 60cm deep x 97cm high, (24in wide x 23 1/2in deep x 38in high)
The carving to the front legs of the present chair is redolent of much of the seat furniture output of the important Georgian cabinet maker and 'upholder' Paul Saunders (1722-1771), especially during the period 1755-1760. By way of comparison see the carving on a pair of Gainsborough armchairs by Saunders which sold Christie's, New York, 30 November 2012, 500 Years Decorative Arts, lot 380.
