Lot description

(pair) Baroque style barley twist highback side chairs, 20thc., having shaped crest over solid splat, later upholstered in worn foliate geometric patterned fabric, with nailhead trim, over frontal barley twist stretcher, rising on turned stretcher-joined legs, ending on bun feet, approx: 44"h, 21"w, 21.5"d, seat height: approx 21"h Provenance: The lifetime collection of Lynn Roth Jordan (Louisiana, Texas, 1943-2021). As an active member of the Austin Antiques Club for many years, Lynn was deeply embedded in the antiques community here in Austin. Her New Orleans upbringing in a family of collectors (many of the pieces come from her mother's estate), combined with her frequent trips to England, gave her a unique understanding of provenance, quality, and historical significance. The estate features an extensive array of English furniture alongside antique decorative objects, the kind of exceptional pieces that only reveal themselves to collectors who know where to look and what to seek.
