A magnificent pair of 18th Century English Country Chippendale ‘Bog Oak’ occasional chairs.
The shaped top rail above a gothic style fret carved splat, resting on square chamfered legs joined by stretchers.
Note: The darker natural colour and heavy weight of the oak is due to the time spent submerged in the bogs, also the light areas are patches of sap wood.
