This chair is a 20th century realisation of that tradition, cast in composite and fibreglass with a scalloped shell seat and back supported by three scrolled and ridged legs that reference coral and sea creature forms with considerable sculptural confidence. The piece has been left in its natural aged patina, which has developed a depth and tonal range across the grey and white surface that a restored finish could not replicate. It has previously sold through Christie's auction and been featured in The Times, and forms part of a larger grotto suite. A interior or garden space that is already operating at a curatorial level will understand immediately what this is and what it requires around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e94.5 cm H × 103 cm W × 95 cm D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eConditioned for presence and atmosphere\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eView by appointment only | 76 Reserve Road, Artarmon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe deliver locally from our Sydney studio and freight weekly to Melbourne, Brisbane, Byron Bay and Canberra\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Fredericks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52129926250778,"sku":null,"price":18600.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0392\/6042\/files\/7_c8a0aa51-5cef-4c64-9798-cf3d4f745842.png?v=1777160721","url":"https:\/\/harperfredericks.com\/products\/rococo-revival-shell-grotto-chair-20th-century-composite-and-fibreglass-natural-patina","provider":"Harper Fredericks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
