A pair of George III mahogany hall chairs circa 1760

Restorations.

Thomas Sheraton described 'Hall Chairs, are such as are placed in halls, for the use of servants or strangers waiting on business'.  One of the designs for hall chairs in Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 3^rd ed., 1762, pls. XVII, corresponds to the present pair of chairs.
