The Celtic hound is an ancient breed, a type of Greyhound-like dog common in Celtic regions. The collar on the dog suggests domestication, consistent with their historical roles as hunting and companion animals.The back is further embellished with scroll and shell carvings complete with 3 finishing finials to the top.The chairs seat is solid Oak with an ornately carved edge with the top being veneered in a more appealing figured ''Brown Oak'' wild grain, it does, however have some historical splitting/timber movement in the seat which has been repaired at some stage in its long life.
