Jeckyll & Co has dated this piece to the 17th Century.
A regional variation identifed by Victor Chinery in 'Oak Furniture, A British Tradition' p481-486, he writes of the Lancashire/ Cheshire type, "The best of these is a widely varied combination of flowers and grapes, often centring on a fan-shaped flower head. Another exciting exciting subject is a stylised dragon which sometimes appears on chairs or chests."
