Set of Ten 10 (8+2 arms) Carved Wheelback Mayhew & Ince Dining Chairs
Circa 1795
An exceptional set of ten Sheraton period wheelback mahogany dining chairs in the manner of Ince and Mayhew.
The exquisitely carved backs centred by laurel leaf rosettes surrounded by eight radiating leaf carved spokes. The over-stuffed seats with attractive 19th century tapestry covers which remain in good condition for the age, above shaped and moulded edge rails which stand on extremely elegant turned and fluted legs headed by carved laurel leaves.
These are an excellent example of 18th century Adam influenced dining chairs clearly made by a leading cabinet maker such as Ince and Mayhew in Soho, London. The wheel back design and the carving to the legs are features often used by these highly respected cabinet makers.
Arm chairs are slightly larger at 93cm high by 56cm wide by 54cm deep
