<p>[QUOTE="Rogerg, post: 335464, member: 6871"]Hello we got these circa 1770 period Adam style armchairs over the weekend and would like to find out more about them. So far we have a tale spun by a NY dealer back in '95 that tie this pair to a suite they were marketing consisting of 4 chairs and a settee. He tied the suite to Lansdowne House London by virtue of a stamped IS on the pieces. The logic was that research showed the IS was an upholsterer's mark and that he had supplied goods to the house as it was being outfitted ( the research didn't reference these chairs). I have tried to research online but don't seem to be finding much about the house or the dispersal of it's contents. Any suggestions on the research and or value would be GREATLY appreciated. Pics are of the lesser of the two. Thanks!</p><p>Roger</p><p><a href="https://postimg.org/image/hcz75pj79/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.org/image/hcz75pj79/" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://s26.postimg.org/8hycv6uex/IMG_2008.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
