Stock CGS909

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.

Good overall colour and patination.

The well patinated top shows signs of many wonderful memories created around this table.

Notice the flat grain, well worn finish. When metho rubbed over, the grain lifts. Still to be re-sealed or left as is… I’ll let the buyer decide.

Yet another table I would love to take home, to create my own memories around…
