A lovely group of three primitive country chairs dating from the early to mid 19th century and most likely originating from the Westcountry. They are not exactly matching and there are some slight differences in turnings but they go together very nicely as a set.
Each chair has a shaped elm seat and a hoop back enclosing simple hand drawn spindles. Superb example of a primitive Windsor chair with a solid Elm seat. They stand on turned tapering legs joined by H-stretchers.
They are in good condition for their age. They have developed a lovely patina and are generally strong and sturdy. There have been some small old repairs including to a split at the top of one leg and there are various other signs of age and use but nothing detrimental and they display beautifully.
The single chairs are approximately 33" / 84cm high, 15" / 38cm deep and the seats are 13" / 33cm wide and 17" / 43cm high. The carver chair is approximately 34" / 86cm high, 22" / 56cm wide across the arms, 17" / 43cm deep and the seat is 17" / 43cm wide and 16" / 41cm high.
