A fine pair of Regency mahogany armorial hall chairs attributed Gillows, each with an ogee back supported on C-scrolls and circular dished seat raised on turned and reeded outswept front legs, the rectangular section back legs joined by a shaped stretcher, richly carved with the Homan family crest comprising a lion’s head surmounted by a large hat, all surrounded by fleshy acanthus scrolls. English, circa 1815.
Footnote: Sir William Jackson Homan, 1st Baronet (1771 – 1852), was an Irish baronet. He married Lady Charlotte Stuart, daughter of John Stuart, 1st Marquess of Bute, in 1797 and was created Baronet of Dunlum, Country Westmeath in 1801. Homan and his family lived in Dromana, one of the Marquis of Bute’s many residences, where he acted as agent for his brother in law Lord Henry Stuart and, eventually, the latter’s son Henry until 1847. When he died without heir, his only son having predeceased him, the title lapsed.
