About the Item
A very good high backed 17th Century oak 'back stool' - peg jointed and solid with original timbers throughout and with a beautifully warm and natural colour. The tall back with a C-scroll carved crest rail with chip carved ground centred by a stylised tulip.
The oak has clearly very selected with great care. The beautiful bright medullary rays cleverly highlight and enhance the outline of the well shaped splat.
The back legs extend to create the back uprights of the chair and these are attractively carved with ogee forms and channels, the tips stepping gently down to give elegance. The back rail over the seat is channel carved. The joiner and carver were clearly skilled and experienced craftsmen and made a chair that day in the 1670s which has lasted in superior condition and used by generation after generation for around 350 years.
A good example, heavy and robust without weakness or movement at the joints, completely usable and with only a few small knocks and losses and a very old historic inlet repair to a small section of the lower rail of the back, well blended, completely stable and not noticeable.
The turned legs and raised front stretcher - a pattern that is seen in English and Welsh seat furniture from c. 1670 as houses became 'cleaner' - thus avoiding the need for a low stretcher at floor level on which to place your feet to raise them above a dirty insect covered floor!
A really good and handsome 17th century chair

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 tall upholstered back over spiral turned legs and original spiral and bulb turned stretchers.
In very good condition for age with some small old dings, some old woodworm, long long dead and a couple of small very old repairs - not affecting structure. 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.
A really beautiful and rather rare early chair of generous proportions all made by hand in c. 1690.
