Having a wonderful overall well worn patina and attractive fret-carved rear splats.
As always, the most comfortable chairs to dine on and locating sets isn’t easy.
You could have four around your kitchen dining table and place the other three in many places around your home or apartment.
Ash, fruitwood and elm.

Fantastic overall colour and patination.

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…
Having double bow construction, with fine tracery fretted splats oweing much to the 18th Century Gothic Revival.
The bowed arms on swept back underarm supports attached to an unusual mahogany saddle seat (typically elm) above pierced knee brackets,
raised on well-formed cabriole front legs joined by a crinoline stretcher.
Attributed to the Thames Valley region. Yew wood, fruitwood and mahogany seats.
No recorded period Gothic Windsor chair has yet been found in in any wood other than the prized yew wood.

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 three decades, as they’re so hard to find.
A primitive 19th Century English Windsor armchair.
Clearly from an unconventional cabinet maker, combining several styles in the one chair.
Still to be glued, cleaned and waxed.
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.
