Description

A good late 17th Century solid oak slat back chair with vase shaped splat and solid twin boarded seat, raised on turned and block supports with turned front stretcher and peg joints.

Beautiful colour and rich natural patina. The original pages are small and squared, and as the timbers of the chair have shrunk and expanded over the centuries the pegs now sit - as they should - slightly proud.

The chair has a great shape and a lot of charm. From form and colour of the oak this may well have been made in Ireland.

The chair solid throughout, with evidence of old worm – long since treated and dead – and wear and losses to the feet and stretchers, some old worm to the underside of the seat boards and a small chip and loss to one corner of one board.

Comfortable, robust and heavy. A lovely, usable and original example with a great colour.

Dimensions are:

38.5 inches high, 15 inches deep and 18 inches wide (all max).

Seat height is 16.5 inches, depth of seat front to back 13.25 inches. Height of seat from seat to top of top rail is 23 inches.

Declaration

Webberley Antiques has dated this 17th Century Oak Chair to the Before 1700 period.

FAQs

Seventeenth-century Irish oak chairs typically feature robust frame construction, vertical splat backs, and simple architectural profiles reflecting utilitarian craftsmanship of the period.

These pieces were constructed using solid native oak timbers, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured by wooden pins or trunnels, often featuring hand-planed surfaces.

Authenticity is indicated by period tool marks, timber shrinkage, oxidisation patination consistent with age, hand-cut joinery, and wear patterns appropriate for centuries of use.

This piece can serve as a striking accent in a contemporary setting, providing historical contrast when paired with minimalist architecture or neutral upholstery.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the surface with traditional beeswax to preserve the patina.
