Description:
An American Classical Carved Mahogany Library Armchair, early 19th c., attributed to Duncan Phyfe & Son, shaped crest rail, tall scrolled padded back, padded arms on lappet carved scrolled supports, turned legs, casters stamped "A. Thorp".
- Notes: Note: The shaped back and arm supports on this chair are nearly identical to those on a chair made by Duncan Phyfe for John Jacob Astor. Thorpe casters, as seen on this armchair, appear on examples from the Phyfe workshop, notably on a bedside stand made for daughter Eliza and a library armchair conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Reference: McClelland. Duncan Phyfe and the English Regency, p. 251, pl. 238; Jones. "Collector's Notes: Andrew Thorp, Furniture Hardware," Magazine Antiques (April 1977), p. 698; Tracy. 19th c.
