$2107.48

A rare find. This is only the third such chair of this type thatwe have ever had in stock.

This example has been sourced from a private collection.

Richard Bebb in his book \"Welsh Furniture 1250-1950 - A CulturalHistory of Craftsmanship and Design\" writes that the earliest recorded\"turned\" chair in the British Isles is situated at Hereford Cathedraland dates to the late 12th/13th Century. The majority of survivingexamples originate from Glamorgan or Monmouthshire and Bebb\'s book refers to adate of production between the 15th and 16th Centuries.

Our example was found in Norfolk, England but has all thecharacteristics of a Welsh chair being constructed of ash and oak. Giventhe size of this chair, it was probably made for an adolescent or young adult.

With shaped cresting rail with supports radiating from the single turnedrear upright. Wonderful downswept bobbin-turned arms lead to the front withturned uprights flanking either side of the trapezoid shaped seat. Allthee legs are united by stretchers.

Superb colour. This is a very sound chair and is ready to go.

Condition- The panelled seat has been replaced historically tothe front and rear. These repairs have a great degree of age in their ownright.
