Antique 17th Century Jacobean Hand Carved English Oak Armchair Tudor Panelling
Located in West Sussex, Pulborough
Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques are delighted to offer this original early 17th century Jacobean Wainscot armchair with Tudor style panelling
Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.
A good early original piece, hand carved, very naïve by today's standards but at the time this would have been considered very ornate.
Condition wise for the period is sublime, this chair is so tactile, and the patina is to die for, think how many hundreds and maybe thousands of people have used this chair, how many centuries of love and use it took to get looking like this. It is the best part of 380+ years old from new
Dimensions:
Height 103.5cm seat height 41cm
Width 59.5cm
Depth 54cm
Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point.
