This is an antique, early 19th century open armchair with previous purpose. A talking point in glorious English oak, this chair reveals its previous purpose when lifting the needlepoint, tapestry cushion. Raised on sturdy square section legs with chamfered corners united by a stepped back box stretcher, the seat back features a vase shaped splat and winged ears. Rising from the seat rails, the shepherd's crook arms are shaped for comfort above the planked seat with blanked aperture. A great chair with surprising attributes, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
