CRN Sells
'Top-of-the-Line' Regency Chairs
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - On November 11, Carl Nordblom of CRN Auctions
sold a pair of English caned armchairs for $29,900. "These are
wonderful, exciting chairs," Nordblom commented. "They are
Regency chairs from about 1810 with a well-preserved old surface.
"They are a particularly high-style version of the form," he
continued, "and finished with excellent details. For example, the
lion heads on the handholds are strongly carved with character,
and then at the base of the arm support there are well-rendered
lion feet. This is the top-of-the-line version for this form."
Bob Jackman will provide a full report of this sale in an
upcoming issue of Antiques and The Arts Weekly.
