Is there another barley twist chair in existence with such a fine gallery of barley twist spindles across the back? … more Is there another barley twist chair in existence with such a fine gallery of barley twist spindles across the back? This large and unusual English mahogany chair was in a sad state of condition when we found it. But when we saw the back with it's gallery of barley twist spindles, we could not forego the challenge of bringing this fantastic chair back to life. Created in an era long before power tools, it is a testament to skill and craftsmanship.

This chair came from an estate in the Washington, D. C. area. It had been relegated to a basement and neglected for years. The seat had deteriorated beyond recognition. The stretchers had been badly damaged. Fortunately, the beautiful back was fully intact. With meticulous care and attention, the chair has been lovingly restored to a magnificent state. The finish is actually original. We merely cleaned and oiled the beautiful mahogany. (The only new finish is on a replacement stretcher. ) The newly re-crafted seat has been custom re-upholstered in a rich, deep crimson fabric, perfect for the style and period of the chair. (The cushion is easily removable if you wish to re-upholster it; it slips right out of the chair. ) This chair will make a bold statement in your entry hall, dining room, living room, or anywhere else in your home.

The woodwork that we call “barley twist” is said to have originated in India. This style of furniture came to England from Portugal through Catherine of Braganza when she married King Charles II and became queen in 1662 following Charles’ restoration to the English throne. This furniture style was again widely revived in England during the reign of Queen Victoria, hence the name “Restoration Revival”. While this particular chair could have originated in that earlier period, during or shortly after the reign of King Charles II, unfortunately, we have no provenance for the chair. Consequently, we’re making the safer assumption that this chair dates from that latter period, during the reign of Queen Victoria. It's a guess, but it's the safer guess. less

As the photos show, it is impossible to tell what is new. The newly re-upholstered seat has been cushioned to be far more comfortable than the original! This chair should be classified as "like new" condition. less
