An Extremely Rare Mid 19th Century English Country 
 
Tavern Chair, Or High Clerks Chair, Having Elegant 
 
Turned Upright Spindles To Bowed Back Over 
 
Superbly Figured Saddle Shaped Seat Raised
 
On Elegant Tall Turned Legs And Stretchers
 
(Every now and again we come across something we
 
absolutely love and of a design which we have not come 
 
across before. This chair is exactly that. The overall design
 
is typical of a mid 19th century smokers bow, or captains,
 
chair but of course it stands on much taller than normal 
 
legs. It is almost certainly not a Childs high chair as the 
 
width and depth dimensions would mean any small child
 
sitting in it would get be lost. It is certainly a chair made
 
for adults to sit in and we bought it simply because we love
 
the overall quality, uniqueness, design, patina and colour. 
 
It would of course now make the most perfect focal and 
 
talking point in any room with no doubt every person that
 
sees it intrigued as to what it''s original use could have
 
been. From a functional point of view we think there are 
 
many places it could be used, but it would certainly work
 
well at a tall desk, modern kitchen breakfast bar/island 
 
or even pulled up to a home bar. It would also be a good 
 
addition to a games room or similar.)
