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.
A rare pair of early 19th Century French fruitwood stools. The upholstered seats on well patinated fine baluster turned legs, joined by an ‘H’ stretcher.
First half 19th Century French oak dough bin. The rectangular hinged top above a deep plain frieze housing barrel shaped storage, resting on bold square tapered legs.
First half 19th Century French fruitwood dough bin/coffee table.
The well patinated cleated hinged top above four canted sides and a thick planked floor. The carcass having a richer patina due to less light and natural wear.
Once a dough bin, removed from stand and hinged the sliding top, clean and wax and great coffee table.
Note: can always be placed back to the base and back to original.
