A fine quality early 19th-century Regency period mahogany chaise longue, dating from around 1820 and presented in excellent condition.
This elegant chaise is constructed from solid mahogany and features a sweeping right-hand raised arm and back, beautifully carved with a refined scroll detail that flows seamlessly into the seat. The frame stands on turned baluster front and rear legs, all original, terminating in delicate brass castors adding to the piece’s Regency charm. The sofa seat height is 44cm.
Professionally reupholstered in a luxurious yellow floral damask, the chaise boasts deep buttoning to the arm and back, with matching braid trim and a coordinating bolster cushion. The traditionally stuffed and sprung seat, with horsehair fillings, offers firm yet comfortable support, designed so that you sit elegantly on the chaise rather than sinking into it. The underside is finished in hessian in the traditional manner, reflecting the high quality of the work throughout. The mahogany frame has been carefully cleaned and French polished, bringing out a rich, warm colour and a beautiful sheen that highlights the fine lines and proportions of the design.
Equally at home in a living room, bedroom, dressing room or study, this Regency chaise longue works wonderfully in both traditional and contemporary interiors. It is not only a striking decorative statement but also a highly practical and comfortable piece of period furniture, a refined addition to any home. See less
