Dr Christopher Dresser In the Style of – Aesthetic Movement Ebonised Armchair
POA
In the style of Dr Christopher Dresser, an ebonised armchair aligned to the Aesthetic Movement (1860–1900), c.1885. The chair presents a rectilinear frame with square legs, canted arms and a panelled back, the seat and back reupholstered in a durable blue fabric. The economy of line, planar panels and absence of applied ornament express the Anglo-Japanese taste that Dresser championed in the late nineteenth century. Construction and profile are consistent with period workshop practice and support a stylistic attribution rather than a signed or retailed example.
