A pair of George II walnut side chairs, made in the manner of Giles Grendey (1693-1780), will feature in a March 3 sale at Batemans in Stamford, estimated at £10,000-15,000.
The backs of both chairs are carved with shell crests above vase-shaped splats, while the seats are upholstered in 18th century gros and petit-point needlework. Shells with later gilding also feature on the carved cabriole legs, above claw and ball feet.
