Welsh Child's Stick Chair, Circa 1760

£530    $708    €620
Beautiful Welsh child''s high chair of stick construction with a wonderful untouched finish.
 
Such pieces were probably rare in their day and few have survived. The shaped armrest is in oak and the remainder in ash - the two timbers which were favoured for this style. The shaped seat is an unusual feature.
 
There have been a few losses over the years, particularly the footrest and stretchers, but we do not think that they should be restored. At some point, the backrest possibly continued upwards to a comb, but the close-up of the top of the spindles shows that any removal took place generations ago.
 
Carmarthenshire, west Wales, circa 1760.
 
25 inches high, 18.25 inches wide across the arms, 11.5 inches deep (15.25 at the base of the legs).
