A wonderful late Regency lyre shaped mahogany armchair in the Gillows manner. Circa 1825.
The armchair is of lyre shape with a stop fluted frame, raised on tapering ribbed front legs, terminating on the original brass cup castors.

The colour is a beautiful blue/green/grey.

The armchair is very sturdy in structure with no loose joints.
