Purchased this delightful chair from customers last week.
They bought as 18th century, English oak George III elbow chair.
Except it’s not!
But still very nice stylish, a lot more than if was English, as it’s French.
A recent private restoration job.
Beautiful last quarter 19th century French oak rotating desk chairThe last photo shows before restoration.
Several patches and re carving, re gluing, removed the later varnished dark surface to reveal a very red raw oak.
Refused to sand or bleach, made up a green base stain that removed much of the red, a very old trick.
Re french polished, coloured in repairs, cut back and wax finished.
Craig Howell, upholsterer, removed the original pressed leather seat and reupholstered the chair to finish this wonderful job.
Eddie, cabinet maker, completed the repairs and carving. Also the ball bearings lubricated and running well.

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.
