An antique early 19th century English oak Wainscot chair
Code: 10244
Dimensions:
A charming antique English oak Wainscot chair.
Originally made in the late 18th / early 19th century, this chair has lots of character and some evidence of alterations throughout its long life.
The body of the chair is certainly very early 19th century in date, with peg construction suggesting slightly earlier and therefore possibly late 18th century.
The seat has worn beautifully through use and the produced a great patina.
The lower sections of the legs have at some point been cut and replaced, most likely due to historic rot or worm damage.
Although replaced timber, the wear to the bottom front cross stretcher shows this must have happened a long time ago.
With extensively carved back rest, this would make a fantastic addition to a hallway or kitchen.
We have edged on the side of caution with dating the chair. There are elements which suggest this is certainly at least 18th century in age.
Dimensions:-
Height - 116.5cm
Width - 58cm
Depth - 60cm
Backrest height - 73.5cm
Seat depth - 40cm
Seat height - 45cm
With age related wear and tear, and as stated some later alterations.
The cresting rail moulding has been fixed with screws which are standing proud of the timber (see images).
There are also some other flat head screws and nails present which have been used to strengthen the chair over time. Some minor movement in the chair but certainly still usable.
Small areas of historic non active worm. This has also been treated for peace of mind.
Please consult all listing images as we have extensively documented each section of the chair.
