Bold and sculptural in form, this chair features beautifully turned spindles, a generous saddle seat, and rare hairy paw feet. Unusual in being executed in mahogany, the strong silhouette and ambitious scale give the chair a distinctive country-meets-high-style character, combining the familiarity of a traditional Windsor with the refinement of sophisticated Georgian design. Chosen for its rich color, confident proportions, and visual strength.
The broad saddle seat and embracing form make the chair exceptionally comfortable. Its scale and sculptural quality allow it to stand comfortably on its own within a room.
