| One of a Pair of Chairs Made for Carlton House, 1805 Commissioned by King George IV Crown Copyright The Royal Collection Image Courtesy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II |
These handsome chairs from the Royal Collection have been attributed to the furniture makers Marsh & Tatham. The pair was made in 1805 for the library at Carlton House during King George IV’s long redecoration project. The pair can be seen in watercolor depictions of the room.
The pair of reading chairs are constructed of ebonized wood and ivory and are upholstered in deep red leather. The back of the chair has been created in a horseshoe design which is formed by the horizontal arms.
