Description
A matched pair of Gothic style mahogany Griffin armchairs
post 1950
the larger height 40 1/2in (103cm); width 22in (56cm); depth of seat 18 1/2in (47cm)
Footnote:
This 'Gothic' pattern appears to have been invented in 1770 for Sir John Griffin for the stone-painted chapel chairs at Audley End, Essex. The form corresponds to that of the vaulted ceiling of the Griffin family pew, which was designed in 1768, inspired by studies of Westminster Abbey.
