It was listed by Havard and Havard. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Havard and Havard has dated this Welsh Comb Back Chair to the 19th Century.
The two inch thick, single piece, beechwood seat is broadly chamfered on the underside and slightly dished on top. The four, large legs are boldly turned and joined by an H-shaped stretcher. With traces of red paint, the chair has a warm, honey colour.
A split in the short grain timber of the right hand arm has an historic metal repair to the underside.
Probably Carmarthenshire (Llandovery) or Cwm Tawe, circa 1820.
Similar to a comb back chair we sold last year which came from a farming family at Cynghordy, near Llandovery, this chair is inscribed in ink on the underside of the seat “This chair resided in the waiting room of DTM Jones Solicitors, 18 Market Square Llandovery until 1960.”“There were so many chairs it became a social meeting place”.
