Regency Revival 'X-Back' Carver Chair in Solid Mahogany – UK, c. 1900
Regency Revival 'X-Back' Carver Chair in Solid Mahogany – UK, c. 1900
This armchair is a masterclass in linear elegance. The silhouette is defined by sweeping, reeded scroll arms that flow seamlessly into the stiles. The backrest features a sophisticated 'X' splat with a central carved roundel, while the wood displays a deep, lustrous mahogany grain with a rich, historic glow. Every edge feels "sculpted," from the delicate tapering of the legs to the tactile reeding that catches the light.
A fine example of the Edwardian era's obsession with the "Regency Revival" style. This piece pays homage to the Neoclassical designs of the early 1800s, blending British sturdiness with the grace of antiquity. As a "Sustainable Heritage" asset, it offers a carbon-neutral alternative to modern furniture, having already survived over a century of use.
