A Truly Remarkable French or Canadian Provincial Beech Anthropomorphic Wing Chair. Mortise and Tenon throughout including paneled sides and wings. Square tapered legs with original pegged stretchers. But makes this chair so incredible rare are the arm terminals carved as perfectly proportioned human hands holding a twisted vasiform arm support. In all honesty I am guessing at the country of origin. There is a blending of French Provincial and English form and style. Thus my possible Canadian origin theory. Retains its original dry finish. Now upholstered in period 18th Century Crewel Bed Hangings.
