A fine pair of mid-eighteenth century carved mahogany library armchairs attributed to Robert Manwaring, ca 1760. Crisply carved, of superb colour and patination throughout. Now covered in blue velvet and close nailed. 'Chinese’ pierced trellis back. Very good movement through the arm. And well carved with foliate detail. Incidentally we have never had a pair of these during the last 67 years. An almost identical chair is illustrated by Ralph Edwards C.B.E., F.S.A. in his seminal and comprehensive 'Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture from the Middle Ages to the Late Georgian Period’ (1969) p. 150, ill. 128: ''Mahogany chair, one of a set; back filled with 'Chinese Railings' c 1760.'' (The late Lt-Col. S. Goldschmidt). Robert Manwaring was a contemporary and imitator of Thomas Chippendale, and not the least considerable of his rivals. He prided himself upon work which he described as “genteel"; his speciality was chairs. He was in business in the mid- to late-18th century at The Haymarket in London, 1760-1765. During a portion of his career, Manwaring was a devotee of the Chinese taste; he likewise practised in the Gothic manner. Manwaring described certain products of his own work as "elegant and superb", and as possessing "grandeur and magnificence". He did not confine himself to furniture but produced many designs for rustic gates and railings; often very extravagant. Literature: Amongst Manwaring's writings were 'The Carpenters' Compleat Guide to Gothic Railing' (1765); and 'Chair-makers' Guide' (1766). Viz ''Chinese Chairs...
