All Original 18th Century High Wycombe Windsor Chair with Fabulous Colour

About the Item

A very good, sturdy and fine example of a low back 18th century wheel back Windsor chair with a really fantastic and naturally developed colour and patina. High Wycombe and c. 1780 The saddle seat in elm, the hoop, legs, spindles and stretchers in ash – all original timbers and the chair hand made in the traditional manner. Whilst the design of Windsor chairs has changed very little over the centuries, earlier chairs were frequently made so that the legs jointed through the well shaped elm seat. The elm board was cut, shaped and polished to form the saddle seat – and the top of the leg is generally visible and has been splayed with a wedge to form a tight fit. 19th Century Windsor chairs usually had bulkier thickly cut seats and the legs were glue jointed into a hollow in the base and were not visible on the surface of the seat itself. This is a true 18th century example dating from c. 1780 in superb condition for age with no breaks, repairs or other issues. There is a tiny natural shrinkage crack to the front of the seat which is very old and has long been like this and will not be going anywhere. Sturdy, comfortable, robust. A really lovely example of excellent colour and in fine original condition. Dimensions are: 18 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 34 inches high. Floor to seat is 16 inches. For metric please multiply by 2.5

17th Century William and Mary Period Oak Armchair c. 1690

Located in Heathfield, GB

A beautifully shaped William and Mary oak armchair with well carved horse-bone legs and arm supports, scrolled feet and handsomely carved front stretcher with S scrolls and geometric motif.

The chair is extremely comfortable and solid with a good width between the arms, deep well padded seat and gentle rake to the padded back. Upholstered in a moss green high quality velvet with matching fringed braid in very good condition also.

Primitive 18th Century Irish Sold Elm Cupboard C. 1750

Located in Heathfield, GB

A most unusual and characterful solid elm cupboard, a primitive cottage piece made in around 1750 and probably Irish. With substantial fielded panel and framed doors with applied Elm mouldings which create a lozenge shape to each panel. The flanks reeded with carved pinwheel above and the deep frieze with deep channel carved decoration. The doors open to reveal a carved arched show frame with matching reeded columns, large quarter pinwheels and a central scroll - again in solid elm. There are two original elm shelves within and both sides are formed from a pair of thickly cut and substantial elm boards. The top boards are original also. This cupboard was originally built in situ, the back of it was formed by the wall in a cottage. When moved backboards and a secondary base board has been added this sits on the original planked elm base and could be removed if not required. The cupboard has old worm holes (the worm has been fully and properly treated and is long since dead) and there are some losses, small chips and wear. The right hand door has a warp as can be seen as there is some slack in the upper hinge – the H hinges...
