Chinoiserie Heavy Back Armchair

The heavy back Chinoiserie garden armchair is based on the distinctive Chinoiserie design which uses a traditional design developed from the work of Frederick Crace for his Master piece – The Music Room at the Brighton Pavilion c1818 for the Prince Regent. Frederick Crace 's grand father had been the first keeper of the Royal collection to George III and it is likely that Frederick had been influenced by the flood of oriental works of art coming into England at that time. In Andrew Crace 's Chinoiserie collection, the new classic Chinoiserie design is incorporated with the Hadham bracket used on the rail at the front of the seats and around the table rails.

The heavy back of this chair gives a more substantial feel and perhaps a more rural look when compared to the fine detail of the original Chinoiserie armchair.
