Armchair
1750-1800 / Fabric / Furniture / John Wesley's House / Wood / Woodwork
Wood, fabric, metal
c.1770-80
One of a pair of armchairs inside John Wesley's Study. It is not known whether the armchairs were in the house when John Wesley occupied it, although it is unlikely.
The armchair is made from mahogany in 'Chippendale' style, influenced by French armchairs of the period. The red velvet style upholstery is later, probably around 1900-1930.
