Rare Folk Art 18th Century Pine Spindle Back Child's Chair

18th century
Description

A rare folk art 18th century pine spindle back child's chair of exceptional patina (colour) with traces of original paint, probably Eastern European.

The chair consists of a carved top rail with diamond design, the lower rail having a simpler rope design with three turned spindles joining the two rails, the uprights being reeded.

This leads down to a rope seat with turned legs to the front supported by square tenoned and pegged rails.

It is hard to put a definite age on this piece, but due to the construction and patination we have dated it as circa 1700, although it could even be earlier.

The chair is in very good original condition, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home or collection. This chair is possibly more of a collectors' piece as due to many years of use it has rather a twisted form which certainly adds to its' character.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Folk art childrens chairs from this period were crafted by regional woodworkers using locally sourced timbers. They typically reflect simplified vernacular forms, mortise and tenon joinery, and functional proportions tailored for young children.

Craftsmen primarily utilized accessible native hardwoods and softwoods such as pine, oak, and elm. Seats were frequently constructed from woven rush, cord, or timber planks based on regional material availability.

Authentic period pieces display hand-hewn tool marks, irregularities in symmetry, natural age contraction around joints, and historic wear on contact points such as stretchers and armrests.

These compact seating pieces function effectively as sculptural accent items in hallways, alcoves, or living areas, often display-stacked with textiles or placed alongside contemporary minimalist furniture for visual contrast.

Timber surfaces should be dusted with a dry soft cloth and occasionally treated with beeswax to preserve moisture. Woven rush seats require gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment and protection from excess humidity or direct heat sources.
