Pair of George III Hall Chairs, attributed to Mayhew and InceA fine and rare pair of mahogany fluted oval back hall chairs, almost certainly by Ince and Mayhew, England, circa 1770. Why we like them These rare and iconic hall chairs correspond almost exactly to other examples by the celebrated London firm of Ince and Mayhew.
