Side chair 1772

"Side Chair," created in 1772 by the British furniture maker William Gordon, is a fine example of 18th-century Rococo style. The chair is characterized by its elegant, flowing lines, its ornately carved frame, and its delicate floral upholstery. These features contribute to the sense of refined grace and luxury typical of the Rococo period. The chair's rich, golden finish and the soft, pale green fabric of the upholstery create a sense of opulence and elegance. Gordon, who was active in London, was renowned for his exquisite furniture making. His work often combined traditional English design elements with Continental influences, as seen in this chair's Rococo style.
