Lot Essay

The bold carving of this piece is typical of a group of Gloucestershire furniture, e.g the distinctive cabled frieze which is found on a chair and a chest illustrated in Oak Furniture from Gloucestershire and Somerset, Temple Newsam, 1976, Cat. Nos. 1,12. The double-heart motif is also found in this group, e.g Temple Newsam op. cit, Cat.No. 8
