An unusual late 19th Century Northern European elm well shaped armchair
This is the first of this style I have seen in 33 years, there’s a definite Arts & Crafts feel with a Chippendale style rear splat, quite an unusual mix.
The long single plank bentwood arms flowing through to become legs with matching shaped stretchers all flow very well, then there’s that English influenced Splat flanked by two reeded uprights.
The thick single plank slight saddle seat seems to be holding all these unusual shapes together.
Anyway an interesting chair and quite a talking point this will be.
A rare pair of early 19th Century French fruitwood stools. The upholstered seats on well patinated fine baluster turned legs, joined by an ‘H’ stretcher.
A decorative first half 18th Century Spanish walnut side chair.
Having an exceptional horizontal carved back with a matching lower splat and front stretcher. The top with two rectangular vertical supports, having applied carved scrolls The two plank thumb moulded seat on matching rectangular legs, joined by stretchers, the side stretchers shaped.
A pair of 19th Century French pine and elm stools of good proportions. The well patinated rectangular pine seats resting on rectangular out swept chamfered legs. Good faded colouring and overall wear.
