About the Item
This beautiful reclining chair was made by Robert Daws, an English fine furniture maker who worked at 17 Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, London between 1820 and 1839.
He first patented his ‘improved recumbent chair’ in 1827 and this lovely example is made in solid mahogany with a tall supportive back and original slide out footstool. The reclining mechanism is operated by a brass button at the side of the seat rail, the seat slides forward and the back is pivoted so that it gently tilts into position. The arms with carved scrolled supportsand the front legs very well turned with original brass casters. The back legs splayed and hocked again terminating in original brass casters. The stool can sit firmly within the frame of the chair or be removed and set on fold out legs concealed beneath the frame and set as an angled footstool.
The whole chair and stool upholstered in pale cream leather with button detailing and the arm caps finished with brass antique nails.
A really good original and solid example, recently re-upholstered and in excellent condition throughout.

Floor to seat is 17 inches and the seat is 21.5 inches deep, increasing to 42 inches when stool pulled out.

- Beautiful Regency Coromandel Writing Box c. 1830Located in Heathfield, GBA very fine Regency example, in solid coromandel of a superb colour. The dark brown/black grain highlighted with creams and golds which run in natural stripes all over the box, Coromandel was a much prized exotic timber imported into the London docks and was usually used in small sections of veneer only due to the high cost of this wood. Here it is used in the solid and has developed a good patina. A further high quality detail is that solid brass string inlays have been added – a double band to the top and front – which sets off the Coromandel very well and is all inlaid by hand. The central brass reserve to the top and brass escutcheon are shaped as open flower heads and are original also. The box retains its original working steel key and opens on original hinges to reveal the writing slope. This is inset with a new black leather skiver with gold tooled border. The original skiver was black but was damaged and torn so we have replaced it with an identical skiver and matching gold tooling. The inner writing slope is solid mahogany and it locks into the top of the box with small brass slide bolts. With the bolts released the slope folds and there is a small compartment beneath the slope in both sections of the box – perfect for storing paper and envelopes. There is also a compartment for inkwells and quill pens. A quill pen is designed to rest in an ebonised mahogany curved boat which is removable. It may seem strange to us now that feather and quill...Category
