This piece is part of a suite, I have the matching pair of armchairs listed under my other items. A very rare well made and decorative piece of furniture. Turkey work is a form of knotted embroidery practiced in England from the 16th century to the mid-18th century, but especially in the 17th century. Used for upholstery and table covers, it was worked in imitation of Turkish carpets, which are known from paintings to have been imported to England from the 16th century. The designs were usually of geometrically stylized flowers. A document from the reign of William III (16891702) gives the number of Turkey-work chairs made per annum as 60,000. Because so few examples have survived in England, while examples have been found abroad for example, in Italy it may be deduced that Turkey work was an export item. As you can see the upholstery is period and distressed, it can be restored as there is limited missing fabric, its mainly just straight line splits, I have a pair of cushions which can be used for donor fabric if needed. The model of the seat itself is sublime, it is a bluster arm daybed, very deep for its type so its a two person daybed, the legs are naturally solid to the frame, ebonised black as was the fashion. Width:- 178.5cm. Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask.
