A superb example of a primitive Windsor chair with a solid Elm seat. It has a primitive stick back design with 'comb' shaped top rail. The chair stands on four simple turned legs joined by a H-stretcher. It is a good comfortable chair, sturdy and well made with a shaped seat.
It is approximately 38" (97cm) high and the arms are 25" (64cm) wide. The seat is 15" (38cm) deep and stands 17" (43cm) high.
It is in good condition for its age. It has developed a lovely deep patina and is structurally very sound, having had the joints gently and sympathetically strengthened. There is an old repair below the seat where a metal plate has been put across a split. There is a similar repair below the mid-rail (see photos). It has developed a wonderful aged patina. It is not without some signs of age and use but nothing detrimental and it displays beautifully.
