About the Item

A good late 17th Century solid oak slat back chair with vase shaped splat and solid twin boarded seat, raised on turned and block supports with turned front stretcher and peg joints. Beautiful colour and rich natural patina. The original pages are small and squared, and as the timbers of the chair have shrunk and expanded over the centuries the pegs now sit - as they should - slightly proud. The chair has a great shape and a lot of charm. From form and colour of the oak this may well have been made in Ireland. The chair solid throughout, with evidence of old worm – long since treated and dead – and wear and losses to the feet and stretchers, some old worm to the underside of the seat boards and a small chip and loss to one corner of one board. Comfortable, robust and heavy. A lovely, usable and original example with a great colour. Dimensions are: 38.5 inches high, 15 inches deep and 18 inches wide (all max). Seat height is 16.5 inches, depth of seat front to back 13.25 inches. Height of seat from seat to top of top rail is 23 inches.

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.

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. The oak has developed an excellent dark and rich colour throughout.

17th Century English Oak Strong Box c. 1640
Located in Heathfield, GB
A rare English oak strong box retaining original and elaborately forged iron lock plate and lock with escutcheon cover and with the original working key. The case with original beautifully shaped corner brackets and original carrying handles – all the hardware fixed with the original rivets. The interior with seven oak drawers with attractive original handles, three over two banks of two, each drawer with very fine boarded linings in wainscot oak with nailed up bottoms. These chests were used by merchants who travelled and traded. The drawers may have contained precious gemstones such as diamonds, gold or jewellery, spices or coins. The fall descends to form a desk at which to write, weigh or count. This example no doubt travelled aboard ships of the day carrying cargo and travellers around the world – ships like the wooden hulled Mayflower which took the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620. The strong box has probably visited many lands and carried all manner of exotic and highly valuable items. If only it could talk! A beautiful and very rarely seen early English example set on a most attractive hand made oak stand...
