Pair of English 19th Century Folding Campaign Chairs
-
Description
A magnificent pair of folding campaign chairs, made in England circa 1870. The mahogany frame has been expertly carved to mimic bamboo chutes, as Chinoiserie was all the rage in England at the time. The chairs would have been used in many of the countless British military campaigns that were occurring across the globe by officers in their tents. Their portable nature lends them to this on-the-go lifestyle. The seats and backs are made of leather with the arms being loose straps of leather fashioned to the seatback and fronts with brass hardware. Turned finials cap the chairs’ supports, embellished with brass. Each chair has a seat height of 18-½”.
