Lot 602
A pair of 19th century Anglo-Indian carved hardwood open armchairs
possibly padouk wood, carved with flowers and foliage, the vase splat backs below a yoked crest rail, over swept arms and a rattan seat, on turned, tapered legs with toupie feet, 21½in. (54.5cm.) wide, 41½in. (105.5cm.) high, old repairs. (2)

Condition:
Polish is dulled and dirty to both chairs, but the surface is very original and would respond very well to wax and polish. The joints are very solid on both chairs. Both have white water marking at the bottom of the feet from storage in a damp cellar, but there is no rot or woodworm damage. Both also have a few small patches of white paint to the wood (probably fairly easily removed). The caning is original and in good condition overall - one chair does have a few small fractures to individual strands of the caning, but both seats are solid.
- Chair 1: Has a small repair to the joint of the top rail and back upright - a small piece of wood has been let-in which has been carved to match. A few old shrinkage cracks to the bottom and top of the splat.
- Chair 2: Has a partial shrinkage crack to the left arm, which runs along a grain line in the wood (see photo). This is not a repair. There is a single small shrinkage to the top of the splat at the back.
