Original Presentation Script

This stunning pair of carved mahogany open armchairs, dating back to circa 1755, features elegant armorials in the crest rail and striking Gothick arches in the backs. With upholstered seats and straight molded legs supported by stretchers, these chairs are not only functional but also a testament to the fine craftsmanship of their time. They are part of a larger set that has appeared in auctions, including a notable sale at Christie's, NY in October 2011. Their provenance can be traced to Julius Drewe, the builder of Castle Drogo in Devon, adding to their historical significance.
