A 19th-century Lancashire-type country carver armchair, constructed from elm and ash with a traditional rush seat. The chair features a triple row of turned spindle back supports between turned uprights, shaped open arms with turned supports, and a handwoven 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.
