Description

Early 19thC C Elm and Yew Windsor Chair, C1800, High Comb Back 105cm tall, slightly cut down..

A fine example of a traditional Windsor chair circa 1800, a vernacular country chair with a 70cm tall comb backrest beneath a handsome grain elm seat and open arms, raised on fruitwood turned supports which have been slightly lowered, the seat height is 39cm.

A well constructed, structurally excellent country chair with a great timeworn patination and colour, no obvious signs of repair, defects or worm, a very fine thing, obvious evidence of wear and great patination, a single spindle has a small split at the rear only, see photos, this doesn’t go all the way through and probably at a branch section.

A wonderful country vernacular chair of both function and form, an interior design chair that can enhance a classic or contemporary space, an enduring design classic.
