Earl and Rymer has dated this Carved Oak Child Highchair to the 17th Century.
The later boarded seat is raised above a carved seat rail. The chair is secured, by means of a charming wooden screw, to a later Victorian stand with spiral-turned legs, the proportions of which sit sympathetically with the original structure.
The stand is designed to function independently as a table once the chair is removed and incorporates an earlier carved panel at its centre.
Overall, a particularly delightful and uncommon piece.
Height 105cm x Width 41cm x Depth 41cm. Chair: Height 71cm x Width 41cm x Depth 39cm. Table: Height 34cm x Width 41cm x Depth 41cm.
