It was listed by Havard and Havard. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Havard and Havard has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The cresting rail is made from a close grained wood, probably sycamore or a fruitwood, and the remaining sticks, legs and stretchers are of ash.
There is an element of historic woodworm but none that compromises the chair. There are no repairs or replacements and the surface is crusty in parts, polished in those areas subjected to use and natural wear. There is a thick dark varnish over a chocolate brown paint and this in turn over a blue/green paint which is visible on areas of the seat.
It`s a wonderfully honest and handsome example.
