Carved from solid oak, the chair features an elaborately detailed crest with grotesque mask motifs, scrolling acanthus leaves, and deeply incised foliate patterns typical of Horner’s masterful style. The tall back is framed with ornate carvings that emphasize its regal presence, while the imposing arms terminate in finely detailed scrolls.

The upholstered seat and backrest, though showing age, offer both comfort and authenticity, adding to the chair’s historical character. Supported on bold cabriole legs ending in paw feet and joined by a sturdy stretcher, this throne chair was built to embody strength, durability, and artistry. Its scale and bold detailing make it a perfect focal point in a library, study, great hall, or as a collector’s showpiece.

This piece works beautifully not only in antique and Renaissance-inspired interiors but also as a bold contrast in Hollywood Regency or mid-century modern spaces where a touch of old-world drama is desired. A rare and exceptional find, this chair is ideal for serious collectors or those looking to infuse their interiors with timeless grandeur. See less
