It's been a while since I posted and since much of my day is spent sitting, here is a look at some chair fashion for 1817. Enjoy!
FASHIONABLE FURNITURE.
PLATE 14.—FASHIONABLE CHAIRS.
THE annexed plate represents chairs from the repository of Mr. G. Bullock, and they are designed for apartments of three different modes of building: the centre chair is intended for a Grecian library, that to the right of it for a suite of rooms in the Gothic style, and that on left for a book-room in a mansion built in the seventeenth century. Although the forms are good, and well adapted to the purpose for which they are designed, yet the materials with which they are composed, and the excellence of their workmanship, give an importance and value to them, that is not to be exhibited by a graphical representation.**Clipped from Ackermann's Repository, Aug 1817, p. 183.
