Creation Date: c.1828
These armchairs form part of a very extensive suite of seat furniture made for George IV’s new Private Apartments at Windsor Castle. Originally consisting of fifty-six pieces (twelve sofas, sixteen armchairs and twenty-eight side chairs), the suite was divided between the Crimson Drawing Room and the Small or White Drawing Room and cost the enormous sum of £13,886 (not including the material for upholstery). By 1830, a number of pieces from both rooms had been removed to the State Apartments or to store, owing to lack of space. Some of the excess pieces were used to complete the refurnishing of Buckingham Palace in the 1830s and 1840s.

Materials: Stag horn and hoofs, pine and wool
The Central European taste for stag horn furniture was fully shared by Prince Albert. Returning from his first visit with the Queen to Coburg, he purchased several pieces, including these chairs, in Frankfurt. The sofa probably came from the Prince’s brother Ernest. All the horn furniture was kept at Osborne.
