Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 1800s.
This rare Welsh antique armchair is such a rare survivor, known as a Lip-Work chair, which is the technique of coiled wheat straw basketry which is bound together by canes of bramble and strips of holly bark with a wooden structure underneath.
This rare Welsh antique Lip Work armchair is a good full size and is in amazingly intact and strong condition. This model is almost identical to one shown in the Victor Chinnery Oak Furniture book. A rare early 19th century antique Lip Work straw chair that is in incredible condition.
