Note: The back rail has a typed paper label pasted to the inside for ‘Phillips of Hitchin’.
The maker of this armchair has not been identified, but other virtually identical chairs by the same hand are known, and on all of them the carving is especially good. The arm supports on this chair feature fine trailing acanthus leaf.
A set of chairs from the same workshop was illustrated in Ronald Phillips Ltd.’s ‘Great English Furniture 2021’, pp. 140-41.
