The Cross-Sabre Chair
An ‘Admiralty’ chair, the crossed carved and gilt sabre back supporting an upholstered shield, above
an upholstered drop-in seat, on sabre legs terminating with brass cappings.
Inspired by the 2nd Earl Spencer, appointed 1st Lord of the Admiralty in 1795. The iconic sword motif
which adorns this piece is inspired by Nelson’s gift to Lavinia, Countess Spencer of a sword captured
in one of his early successes at the Battle of St Vincent.
