One from a rare set of six late 18th Century English Country Yew Wood and Elm Triple Bow Windsor Arm Chairs.

I sold these to good customers twenty years ago.
They are now moving and need to sell.
I’m always happy to re sell rare items I’ve handled over the past four decades, as they’re so hard to find.

19th century English country elm triple-bowed Windsor rocking chair

The first one in around 20 years, very scarce.

The bold bowed top rail above a fret-carved centre splat, running through a well patinated bowed arm

rest, with out swept turned arm supports, on a well grained saddle seat, resting on central bobbin-

turned legs, joined by a bowed front stretcher and the original bowed rockers.

Fantastic overall colour and patination.

A rare pair of 18th Century yew wood Gothic Windsor elbow chairs

Thought I’d create a few posts on beautiful yew wood pieces I’ve sold over the past few decade’s.

I’ll start with these magnificent rare 18th century English Gothic windsor elbow chairs.

I sold these to a wonderful woman in her late 70s back in 2006. She still enjoys them every day.
Such joy they have brought to her life…

 

An Outstanding Rare Late 17th Century Oak and Elm Primitive Windsor Armchair – Wales 1697

An outstanding and rare late 17th Century Oak and Elm primitive Windsor armchair – Wales. The slanted upright plank back slotted through the single plank bowed arm on four bobbin turned supports joined to the elm saddle seat raised by four tapered out swept legs. Dated 1697 with the initials later gouged out and showing signs of very old repairs including shaped iron braces applied by hand made nails.

Note: This chair is worthy of a museum and will probably never leave my personal collection. I have had the chair photographed in complete detail to display on my website and to be included in a future publication.
