The Chinese Bedroom from Badminton House

The British Gallery

The only information I have at present is as follows:

Armchair from Badminton House

About 1754

The black and gold colour scheme of this chair dates from the 19th century, when it was redecorated. It was originally painted red, blue and yellow to go with the bed. The design for the chair by John Linnell shows the original colours.

Beechwood with japanned decoration (painted with layers of pigmented varnish); modern upholstery.

Designed and supplied by the workshops of William and John Linnell, Berkeley Square, London.

Commissioned by 4th Duke and Duchess of Beaufort as part of a set of eight chairs for the Chinese bedroom.

Fantastic! A very appealing photo - it makes me want to tuck myself into that glorious huge bed!
