Eastlake

My Mom recently purchased a couple of chairs at a yard sale.
She just liked the look of them.  It turns out she has a great eye.  The chairs are from the late 1800's and are made by a very prominent English maker by the name of Charles Eastlake.
They are what is known as Ladies parlor chairs.
Below is a little information of Charles and his style.
Way to go mom''

"The Eastlake furniture style as envisioned by its namesake, Charles Lock Eastlake, came about in response to his dislike of the over-the-top Rococo Revival and Renaissance Revival styles popular during the Victorian era. Eastlake was a trend-setting British architect, author, and lecturer.

As a proponent for "careful craftsmanship," he called for the manufacture of "simple sturdy furniture." His book, Hints on Household Taste, published in England in 1868 and the United States in 1872, expounded on these ideals in line with those of the Arts & Crafts Movement.

Although Eastlake furniture is technically considered Victorian, being popular from 1870-1890, it breaks away from the excessive high relief carving, classical elements, and numerous curves of other styles produced during this time frame."
