Lot Essay

The gothic chamfering, pegged construction and form of this chair relate to an 1849 design by the architect A. W. N. Pugin (d. 1852) and derived from his pattern invented for the Prince's Chamber at the Palace of Westminster three years previously. (see: A. Wedgwood, A. W. N. Pugin, Rugby, 1985, pl. 69). Related seat furniture patterns were published by Richard Charles in his Cabinet Maker: A Journal of Design, 1868
