A good example of an antique stick back farmhouse chair dating from the late 19th century. It has a shaped elm seat with curved arms supported by turned spindles. It is high backed with narrow turned spindles standing on turned legs joined by a central stretcher. The back of the seat is stamped with the maker's initials 'R.L' and the number '212'.
The chair stands approximately 42" (107cm) high and 23 1/2" (60cm) wide. The seat is approximately 18 1/2" (47cm) deep and 17" (43cm) high.
It is in good original condition and has a lovely patina. There are signs of age and use and some marks and light knocks around the legs but nothing detrimental and the chair is strong and sturdy. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
