A French polychrome-decorated parcel-gilt throne armchair, early 19th century, after a wall painting in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings

the seat and tall back upholstered with hand-painted velvet with star motifs, the reverse covered with sand-coloured floral velvet, the armrests in the form of giltwood lions, the deep seat rail with a painted velvet frieze of Egyptian figures in profile contained by a basket-weave border, the animalistic legs terminating in paw-and-ball feet on brass castors

This lot will be on view in our New Bond Street galleries on 9^th, 10^th, 11^th, 12^th, 15^th, 16^th and 17^th January 2024.
