Description
A Pair of George II Style Mahogany Side Chairs
19th Century
Height 39 1/2 x width 22 x depth 22 inches.
This lot is located in Chicago.
Property from the Estate of George Burrows, Illinois
George Burrows was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Born in Chicago and raised in nearby Park Ridge, his mother maintained a lovely home furnished with antiques, many of which he inherited and treasured in his own collection. He spent summers during his childhood and teen years in Mackinac Island, Michigan, where he later restored his family’s home to a masterpiece. He graduated from the University of Miami and continued to spend much of his time in Florida throughout his life. As a young man, he went to work building his family business, The Burrows Company, and expanded it significantly over the years until he sold the company in 2009. While he was a tireless worker, he found time for extensive travel and took thirteen trips on the Concorde Supersonic Airliner to Paris and London. He also regularly made trips to New York City to maintain his immaculate and beautifully tailored wardrobe. Mr. Burrows enjoyed fine hotels, fine dining, and elegant surroundings. The collection offered by Freeman’s | Hindman reflects his refined taste for objects and works of art that were cherished in his homes for decades. More property from the Estate of George Burrows will be offered in Freeman’s | Hindman’s upcoming Dining at Home auction (May 15), European Art auction (May 17), and The Collected Home auction (July 17).
