Y AN INDIAN SOLID EBONY ARMCHAIR COROMANDEL COAST, LATE 17TH CENTURY Of typical form, boldly carved throughout with flowers and foliage and with spiral turned uprights, the shaped back with leaf bud finials above scrolled arms and a later caned drop-in seat, the legs joined by box stretchers 79cm high, 62cm wide, 58cm deep Carved ebony chairs were made throughout South East Asia during the second half of the 17th Century, particularly along the Coromandel Coast of India and in Batavia (Indonesia). These ebony chairs were conceived at the end of the 17th Century, when a new style of ebony furniture became fashionable in the Dutch colonies, between circa 1680 and 1720. Dutch colonial chairs were considered entirely appropriate for the decoration of Romantic antiquarian interiors in England during the second half of the 18th Century and most of the 19th Century, as they were thought to be Tudor. This tradition was compounded by Horace Walpole at the time he was furnishing his Gothic mansion, Strawberry Hill in Middlesex. Having seen a pair of ebony chairs in Esher Place, Surrey, where Cardinal Wolsey had lived from 1519, he immediately associated them with Wolsey, reinforcing a tradition which survived for many years (C. Wainwright, 'Only the True Black Blood', Furniture History Society Journal, XXI, 1985, pp. 250-254). Walpole himself acquired such chairs including, in 1763, eighteen chairs and two tables of solid ebony from Stoughton House, Huntingdonshire, the seat of the Conyers family, which he placed in the Holbein Chamber at Strawberry Hill. Several chairs of this type also furnished St. Michael's Gallery at Fonthill Abbey - William Beckford's supreme folly. Condition Report: Overall in good condition, structurally secure with dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use. As noted the drop in seat is a later replacement with later supporting brackets beneath. Chips and general wear to the carving throughout.Condition Report Disclaimer
