The backrest and the square spindles bend, creating a comfortable seat. A hand-carved hoop reinforces its wavy legs. The overall design is simple, yet special. This antique oak chair would suit an eclectic living room or a welcoming corner nook for a relaxing read. The history of this piece is not certain, though the condition had reflected that the original varnish was exposed to extreme heat. A crackled, charred finish, masked the beauty of the wood. This charming chair was refinished in order to admire the rich tones of tiger oak once again. Please note, there is an "X" punched into the back of the seat. It may be a maker's mark or another story to unfold by its next owner.
