A solid, late 19th-century armchair in the classic Windsor style. Constructed with a solid Elm seat and a Beech frame, featuring a traditional high-back lath design and turned legs.
The surface has a rich, glow with a nice depth of colour.
•Carved from a single, thick plank of figured Elm, the seat shows ''life marks''—tiny indentations and a slight darkening of the grain that highlight its Victorian heritage.
• Maker''s Stamp: The rear of the seat features a crisp, deep-struck ''EUW'' stamp. This maker''s mark is a vital piece of provenance, typical of high-quality workshops in the High Wycombe region, known as the chair-making capital of England in 1890.
• Construction: Traditional Victorian ''stick-and-lath'' construction. The Beech frame and spindles are tightly jointed into the seat, and the legs are reinforced by a classic H-stretcher, ensuring it remains as sturdy.
This is a fine chair and carries the various marks and signs of usage and character, please see the
