Scotland
1820's-1830's
Handsome mahogany armchair from Scotland, George IV period, with scrolled arms and exaggerated ball and claw feet, with a crest rail sporting the Stirling family crest of a spread eagle and two rampant lions, and the motto 'Noctesque Diesque Prraesto' (I perform night and day) underneath and topped with a Moor's head, below which their other motto 'For Right' is carved. The Moor's head, according to Fairburn's 'Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland', was fairly common in heraldry and was not a celebration of slavery. Supplied to Lieutenant-General Alexander Graham-Stirling (1769-1849) for Rednock House, Lake of Menteith, c 1827.
