This is a George Smith Gainsborough Carver chair, unbuttoned and upholstered in a red damask fabric. It was originally an ex-showroom display piece and is now offered by a private seller. As such, it shows some minor wear and tear consistent with being on a shop floor, but remains a solid piece of furniture.
Construction and Materials
Built by renowned British craftsmen, this chair uses traditional materials: hardwoods, horse-hair, coil springs and cotton felt. The frame is dark wood, the upholstery fabric is a blend, and the pattern is damask. The chair is indoor use only.

Buying Ex-Display: What to Check
Ex-display and end-of-line stock is sold at a reduced price because it has been handled and may show light scuffs, marks or fabric wear. This chair is sold as seen, so please examine the photos carefully. The original RRP was £2,322 excluding fabric; approximately 2 metres of fabric would be needed to re-cover the chair. The seller acquired this item just before the pandemic, stored it unused and now no longer needs it. It is listed as 'Used' because of the display wear. The buyer is responsible for collection or arranging shipment, though the seller may offer reasonable assistance if agreed in advance. Ask any questions before purchase.
