Description:
A set of four Scottish Regency mahogany side chairs, attributed to William Trotter, each with a broad fiddleback panelled top rail with volute ends, above a central acanthus leaf splat flanked by bobbin and rope twist uprights, moulded swept side rails with terminal scrolls, the buttoned drop in seat above a gadrooned seat rail on scrolled and moulded sabre legs. (4), height 88 cm, width 48 cm, depth 54 cm. Provenance: Haughey Antiques, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, UK. Other Notes: each chair numbered with a Roman numeral, the highest number being XVIII so they were part of a much larger set, one pair stamped with the initials Tr and Ir. William Trotter of Edinburgh (1772-1833) was Scotland's most outstanding cabinetmaker of his period. He was largely responsible for introducing London and classical revival styles to Edinburgh.
