George Edmund Street.

A Gothic Revival walnut armchair, designed for the Judges for The Royal Courts of Justice in Fleet St (London's High Court). With spiral carved finials and further spiral carving to the front legs. With a subtle flowing design below the arms and shallow carved floral decoration to the back of the arms.

This armchair is ready for upholstery, the backs of these chairs were originally designed for button back upholstery.

In 1868 G E Street's design won the competition to build The Royal Courts of Justice. Queen Victoria opened the Royal Courts in December 1882 after eleven years of construction. The building instantly became an awe-inspiring landmark in the heart of London's Fleet Street.
