A very fine pair of George II green japanned and gilt chinoiserie decorated side chairs, in the manner of Giles Grendey. The caned high backs surmounted with a gilded cresting, the moulded square seats also caned, standing on cabriole legs to the front and raked rear legs, all joined by a turned and moulded shaped stretcher, with stylised transitional feet combining both the pad and the claw and ball designs . Each chair fantastically decorated with gilt chinoiseries throughout on a green background. The chinoiserie decoration very much in the manner of Stalker and Parker.
The seats now with yellow silk squab cushions.
