A Set of Six Late 18th Century Bamboo ‘Cockpen’ Armchairs, with Drop in Upholstered Seats
SOLD
In the manner of Linnell, c.1770. Closely related in form to the Scottish ‘Cockpen’ chair, the spotted surface and faux bamboo design of these examples lend a freshness to their untouched surfaces. The drop-in seats stripped to calico, with spandrels and gently raking backs.
Extremely similar to a set of ten ‘neat bamboo chairs’ made for William Drake, Shardeloes in 1767.
Provenance:
Wood House, Essex (as pictured, Country Life fig.7).
