Description:
This is a fine quality example of an antique English George V solid oak carved monks seat armchair table, of unusual metamorphic design, displaying fine quality carvings, circa 1910 - 1920, in excellent original condition.
The back is hinged with two oak pegs, which allows the table to convert into a table top. The two oak pegs can be removed to allow you to detach the table top for safe storage or movement. The chair incorporates two reeded moulded arms, which also act as table supports when the top is folded down. Incorporating a solid oak seat, with a carved frieze, standing on four baluster turned legs, secured by “H” stretchers for additional strength, the chair terminated on turned feet.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality example of an antique English George V solid oak carved monks seat armchair table, of unusual metamorphic design, displaying fine quality carvings, circa 1910 - 1920, in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges, frame, sides and drawer bottoms, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The monk’s seat has been cleaned and French polished by hand in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The original pegs are present and the metamorphic action is in excellent working condition. There are no missing carvings and no breaks or lose joints to the frame. This item is well constructed, solid in joint and is ready to be used.
