This pair of George III library armchairs, are stamped "Gibside" on the seat rails and on the inner sides of the legs. Gibside Hall, Durham County, was the ancestral home of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Her forbear, George Bowes inherited the estate in 1721. He profited handsomely from the coal trade and ploughed his money back into the development of Gibside. Under his stewardship which lasted until his death in 1760, he added a wing to the Hall, built a Mausoleum Chapel and Classical stables, erected the Column of Liberty (the tallest structure outside of London at the time), and created a Gothic Banqueting Hall and an Orangery. Most notable, however, was the massive landscaping project he undertook on the estate's 500 acres, creating one of the greatest 18th C. parks in Northern England. In 1760, his only child, Mary Eleanor, inherited all his properties, including Gibside, and over one million pounds. In turn, the estate then passed to John Bowes-Lyon, her eldest son by the ninth Earl of Strathmore. He shared his grandfather's passion for Gibside and made considerable improvments to the structures as well as replanting the woods that had been destroyed by his stepfather. In 1832, the property passed to John Bowes, the son of the tenth Earl of Strathmore. When he died childless in 1885, the estate reverted to the Earls of Strathmore, the Bowes-Lyon family. In the early part of the 20th century, Gibside was rented to a local solicitor and during World War I, Land Army Girls were billeted in the servants' quarters. After a fire in 1920, the Hall was dismantled and everything of value was removed to Glamis Castle, the seat of the Earls of Strathmore in Scotland. It is likely that this is when the chairs were stamped with their place of origin. Estimate: $ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00 Sold at $80,000.00
