A pair of Glastonbury chairs made for the Pembertons of Durham

Each of these oak Glastonbury chairs has a pointed back and a fixed rectangular seat. The shaped arms and X-frame legs are attached with protruding pegs, giving the impression of a collapsible or folding chair. The elaborate coats of arms carved into the back are quartered multiple times and surmounted by a plumed helmet with two arms holding a victor’s wreath and flanked by two heraldic beasts, all surrounded by swags and tassels and the motto ‘tant que je puis’. English, circa 1870.
