EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable 17th-century chair adorned with raised velvet fabric. The photograph, taken in 1836 and later published in "Specimens of Antique Furniture" by Samuel Rush Meyrick, captures the exquisite craftsmanship and elegance of this historical piece. Located in the Cartoon Gallery at Knole, a magnificent stately home in Sevenoaks, Kent, this chair is a testament to British furniture makers' artistry. The intricate carvings on the wooden frame reflect the skill and attention to detail prevalent during the 17th century. The rich color and patterned upholstery add an air of sophistication to this already impressive piece. It serves as a window into both English history and social customs of that era. The print was created by Henry Shaw, known for his expertise in capturing architectural beauty through his lens. Published in 1946 as part of "British Furniture Makers" by John Gloag, it offers viewers a glimpse into the past while preserving its timeless allure. As we admire this image today, we are transported back to an era where such chairs were symbols of status and refinement. This print not only celebrates the craftsmanship but also invites us to appreciate the intersection between artistry and functionality throughout history.
