A group of six Indo-European solid ebony chairs (two pictured left) sold for £26,000 (plus 20% buyer’s premium) at Dawson’s of Maidenhead on August 26. The buyer bidding online via thesaleroom.com was from the London trade.
The ‘set’ was, in essence, three similar pairs, each with a riot of typical pieced and carved decoration combining scrolling foliate with figures, beasts and birds, some inset with ivory.
