Date: ca. 1880.The chair was designed for the London Law Courts by the English architect, George Edmund Street, a leading practitioner of the Victorian Gothic Revival who specialized in ecclesiastical work. However, his best-known project was the Law Courts (now the Royal Courts of Justice) in the Strand, London, for which a competition was conducted in 1866-67. The construction did not begin until 1874, however, and was only completed in 1882, a year after Street's death. The building was considered an artistic milestone and The Times predicted in 1867 that it would be "a perpetual monument of English art as understoof and practiced in the latter half of the 19th century." The design of the building beautifucall illustrates that a picturesque Gothic style could be used for a modern secular Desk chair (fauteuil de bureau) first half 18th century French.

Armchair 205110Armchair ca. 1850 Chair frame by the firm of Joseph-Pierre- François Jeanselme The overall design of this armchair is taken directly from elements used in Gothic architecture, as are the prominent ogee-arch back surmounted by carved leaves and flanked by spandrels cut with trefoils, and the molded details of the posts, arms, supports, and legs, as well as the pierced skirt imitating tracery. The original leather upholstery has a pressed design showing a pattern of flowering scrolls in red, rust, gold, and black (originally green); the outer back is covered with a gold-colored silk glued over green serge.Although the Gothic Revival is primarily associated with English tastes, the style also appeared in France during King Louis-Philippe's reign (1830-48). While in exile in England, Louis-Philippe developed a taste for English styles. The Gothic was also promoted by the influential architect and theorist Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, a restorer of French Gothic cathedrals.The Jeanselme Armchair (fauteuil). Culture: French.

Author: Robert Stewart.Armchair. .Hip-joint armchair (sillón de cadera or jamuga) ca. 1480-1500 Spanish, Granada This armchair consists of four S-shaped supports on two runner-like stands. The disks that join two of the supports at front and two at back suggest that the chair can be folded up like a pair of scissors. This is not possible, however. The supports will collide above the turning point, allowing only a small degree of movement. This impractical arrangement can easily be explained by the chair's derivation. It descends from the sella curulis, or curule chair, an ancient Roman folding seat used by consuls and high officials. In its elegant medieval interpretation, the throne-like chairby then called a faldistoriumcontinued to symbolize secular power, and as the customary seat of the higher clergy, it also came to express the authority of the church.[1 The folding mechanism was eventually eliminated, and the place where the joint had been was marked with an ornamented disk.By the late fifteenth century the sSofa c 1849-1854 New York.

Author: Eugene Croe.Étagere. unknown, creatorJoined armchair 1650-1700 American The most imposing chairs in seventeenth-century New England were the joined-oak armchairs with panel-and-frame backs carved in the same manner as chests. Based on English Renaissance and Mannerist designs, this example, with its solid, vigorous form enlivened by carving, has a commanding presence. Its massive rear posts taper on the front surface toward the crest and foot, resulting in a back that slants to accommodate the human form and in legs that are lightened. The carving, which consists of a double arcade, intersecting lunettes with stylized foliage, and S-scrolls, creates a lively interplay of semicircles, circles, and vertical accents. The square pillars, used instead of turnings to ornament the front posts (part of the vocabulary of Mannerist decoration), are an unusual feature in New England furniture of the period known primarily on this and five related chairs.
