Elegant pair of “Governor Alston” armchairs from Baker Furniture’s Historic Charleston Collection. Modeled after early 19th-century Regency designs, these chairs exemplify Baker’s mastery of craftsmanship and historical interpretation.
Each chair features a graceful mahogany frame with double-ring back splats, gold banding, saber legs, and scrolled arms capped with carved rosettes. The crest rail is accented by a hand-painted floral panel — a distinctive hallmark of the Governor Alston design.
While most examples of this model were produced with caned seats and removable cushions, it appears that in this pair, the cane was professionally removed and replaced with permanent upholstered seat cushions. The tailored plaid upholstery — in tones of burgundy, sage, and cream — complements the warm wood finish beautifully, offering a comfortable and durable seating surface.
