E. W. Godwin Probably for William Watt. An Anglo-Japanese Ebonized Side Chair

POA

Edward William Godwin, an Anglo-Japanese ebonized side chair, probably made by William Watt, features a lattice back and a later overstuffed leather seat on square part-fluted supports. For a comparable example, refer to Soros, Susan Weber's 'The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin', p. 113, illus. 137. Another comparable chair can be found in Sotheby's with Paul Reeves' 'The Best of British Design from the 19th-20th centuries: The Selling Exhibition', 14th-20th March 2008, P R33. This chair has been professionally reupholstered with embossed Gilded leather, replicated exactly from the original leather designs Godwin created for furniture for Lord Limerick at Dromore Castle in the early 1870s.
