Bruce Talbert. a Gothic Revival Tall Back Oak Chair with the Original Upholstery

Bruce Talbert. Gillows. A rare and important Gothic Revival tall back oak chair with the original distressed leather seat and backrest. The last image is published in Bruce Talbert’s book ‘ Gothic Forms Applied to Furniture, Metalwork and Decoration for Domestic Purposes, which was published in 1868. The example here is a taller more flamboyant variation of that chair design and looks less restrained. The same image is repeated in Jeremy Cooper's Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors page 111 and page 85.
