4. Edwardian Mahogany Chairs (2) by Liberty & Co, London c.1900
These stunning Edwardian mahogany chairs are part of a bedroom suite by the famous British furniture retailer, Liberty & Co, of Regent Street, London. Liberty championed the work of the most progressive designers of British “New Art” and by 1900, was celebrated worldwide as a leader in the production of Arts and Crafts furniture. The chairs are made of beautiful solid mahogany with original aged patina and exceptional inlays of exotic woods that depict briar roses. The seats have been recently upholstered with an attractive floral material. The Liberty & Co ivorine maker’s plaques are not visible but we suspect that they are under the upholstery. There are also two matching single beds available for sale separately.
