In the late Georgian and Regency periods, the Fan Back decorated chair was the height of fashion in the drawing room. Its lightness was a perfect contrast to the heavy mahogany of these periods. Never an easy chair to make, this copy has the exact scale and proportions of the best of the original examples. Painted, gilded and hand caned by Classic Chairs' own team of master craftsmen, this chair will always command the respect of serious students of decorated furniture. The lighter chairs of the late 18th and early 19th centuries were often luxuriously decorated, and Classic Chairs have kept to the delicate feel and colouring of the originals. The seats of this type of occasional chairs were predominately caned and furnished with a "squab" cushion - quite often these were lavishly gathered, ruched, pleated and corded.
