This Victorian country stick back armchair dates from 1900 and displays a classic rustic farmhouse design. Constructed from elm and beech with a warm brown timber finish, the chair exhibits visible signs of age and wear across its wooden surfaces. The piece consists of a distinctive circular penny seat flanked by curved wooden armrests supported on turned spindles. Slender spindles form the high stick back, topped by a curved crest rail, while the turned legs are reinforced by connecting stretchers. The armchair measures 100 cm high, 62 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, offering comfortable seating dimensions for everyday use. Placed in a living room, hallway, or study today, this practical wooden seat brings traditional character and functional seating to various interior settings around the home.

FAQs

Originating as a regional variation of the traditional Windsor chair in the 19th century, the Ibex armchair features a contoured top rail reminiscent of mountain goat horns. These chairs were produced in regional workshops across Britain, serving as durable seating for country kitchens, public houses, and domestic spaces.

Traditional stick back chairs are constructed from native hardwoods such as elm, beech, and ash. The components are secured using wedged mortise and tenon joinery, with turned spindles fitted into a solid, shaped wooden seat base without requiring complex metal fasteners.

Authentic examples feature a single solid timber seat cut into a rounded circular shape, known as a penny seat. Look for hand-turned spindles, natural wear along the armrests and front stretchers, and exposed wedge joints on the underside or top rail.

A wooden stick back chair functions effectively as a focal accent piece in an entryway, alongside a modern dining table, or in a reading corner. Combining natural timber seating with neutral textiles and contemporary minimalist decor creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice yearly to preserve the finish. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources such as radiators to prevent the wood from drying, splitting, or loosening at the joints.
