19th Century Elm & Ash Lancashire Rush Seat Country Elbow Chair Carver Armchair

A 19th-century Lancashire-type country carver armchair, constructed from elm and ash with a traditional rush seat.

It stands on rounded front legs with offset pad feet and squared rear legs, united by stretchers for strength and stability.

A charming and well-proportioned provincial armchair with lovely patina and character, serviced, cleaned, and waxed — ready for immediate use.
