A fabulous George 1 walnut and 18th century tapestry wing-back armchair. English circa 1725. This wonderful wing armchair which the current private vendor acquired from the prestigious antiques dealership of John Dunn Antiques of Melbourne, dates from the end of the 'Age of walnut' furniture in England, around the first quarter of the 18th century. It is covered in exquisite 18th century Flemish tapestry, which is an extremely expensive and luxurious choice of upholstery. As is often the case with the best English furniture design, the restraint of ornament defines this chair. Dimensions: 112 cm high 89 cm wide, 64 cm deep
