Pair of Oak Wainscot Chairs

About the Item

A rare pair of late 17th century oak wainscot chairs. Very striking detail: grand cresting rail with very similar carved detail to the main panel and a further smaller panel with 4 carved scrolls, well carved 'ears' and back framing with chequered inlay. The arms with some punched decoration, also notice the side seat edges decorated with a series of carved notches. Some of the detail can be seen on chairs in Tobias Jellinek's Early British chairs notably plates 62 & 84 (see the similar baluster legs and arm supports) indicating a date of circa 1680.

  • A 16th CENTURY OAK WAINSCOT CHAIR DATED 1539
    Located in Flower Mound, TX
    An absolutely stunning example of an early oak Wainscot chair, the carved foliate and scroll top rail above a paneled back, centered with an incised lozenge, initialed and dated ‘P D 1539’, over the board seat upon turned baluster front legs and plain rear legs united by peripheral cross stretchers. We don't know the relevance of the date seeing the chair was probably made in the later part of the 16th century. It is interesting to note that King Henry VIII was on the throne during the date on this chair. This was acquired by “The Englishman’s Antiques...
