Antique Original Victorian Elm Seat Splat Lathe Back Fireside Arm Chair C1880

Antique Victorian Splat Back Armchair .

An original fireside chair with a beautifully worn patina.

We bring to you this charming example of a Victorian 19th century Splat back fireside armchair in lovely condition with a wonderfully aged and rustic appearance. This armchair is of larger proportions unusually having an extra stretcher rail to the rear for added support (original to the item). This lovely country chair is made from a combination of woods that contribute to its nice light colour and distinctive grain. The broad, deeply-dished, and comfortably-shaped seat is made of Elm, showcasing a prominent and attractive grain pattern. The arms and the curving yoke at the top of the back are crafted from a fruitwood, which along with the rest of the chair's structure, provides a warm tone that complements the elm.

The chair's back is characterised by a series of curved slats, set between the seat and the curved top rail. Supporting the arms are two pairs of beautifully turned baluster supports, which repeat the highly decorative turned pattern found on the four legs.

Finally, the chair stands on its durable base with the centre stretcher and aforementioned extra rear stretcher. The overall impression is one of solid craftsmanship, comfort, and enduring farmhouse country style.

The chair is in strong condition with no joint movement or breaks, is free from woodworm and has been thoroughly checked over in our workshop.

We have cleaned and waxed this chair to protect and preserve the finish making this item completely ready for its new home.

Please note; This item is in fantastic condition for its age as shown by the photographs below. Being an antique item of this age there are obviously marks, scratches and dents, however, we feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character to a piece.
