Stock 1563

A rare 19th Century Australian Cedar Gothic Revival Armchair

The moulded arched cathedral back housing a deep single plank of fret carved cedar, flanked by two square block side supports, flowing into the rear sabre legs, joined to the supports are the carved shaped arms terminating into a circle with a deep fret carved shaped clover on a triangular shaped support, the large single plank seat, above a shaped moulded frieze, resting on square block chamfered legs.

Good overall colour and patination.

Note: The deep planks of cedar have been taken from a huge cedar tree and the carved detail is exceptional.

Also the turned finials above the upright side supports are missing.
