George Walton. Rare Arts & Crafts Philippines Cane Chair with Serpentine Back
Price on Application
This item is price on application due to its rarity and importance.
George Walton
A rare Arts & Crafts walnut high back 'Philippines bergere chair'. The serpentine shaped high back is not just very comfortable but very elegant and refined.
In the Philippine drawing room interior from Brasted in Kent, a commission he worked on from 1902. It is mentioned that there are clear indications of the future, and one can certainly see it in this design, still so thoroughly modern and ahead of its time.
Width: 19 in (48.26 cm)
Depth: 21.75 in (55.25 cm)
1900-1909
Wear consistent with age and use. The chair still retains the original cane seat and cane back with some small strand losses to the back cane.
I have left this original but we can get the losses replaced and stained to match or have it completely professionally re caned if required.
