Set of 4 solid ebony Anglo-Indian chairs – Rococo Revival, Ceylon, 19th century
Set of four solid ebony Anglo-Indian chairs – Rococo Revival, Ceylon, 19th century
Four exceptional chairs in solid ebony in Rococo Revival style, commissioned for a representative of a colonial settlement in India or Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The patron was undoubtedly someone of great wealth or an important position in the colony.
The style, with its gracefully curved legs and rich, deeply carved back, can be traced to the mid-19th century. A family coat of arms is carved into the backrest, which we are still trying to identify.
Why we chose this piece
Heavy, extremely rare chairs with an impressive presence and an intriguing story.
Style and interior
A statement in a classic, colonial or eclectic interior, around a dining table or as individual accents.
