An Outstanding Rare Late 17th Century Oak and Elm Primitive Windsor Armchair - Wales - AA0803

An outstanding and rare late 17th Century oak and elm primitive Windsor armchair - Wales

The slanted upright plank back slotted through the single plank bowed arm on four bobbin turned supports joined to the elm saddle seat raised by four tapered out swept legs.

Dated 1697 with the initials later gouged out and showing signs of very old repairs including shaped iron braces applied by hand made nails.

Note: This chair is worthy of a museum and will probably never leave my personal collection. I have had the chair photographed in complete detail to display on my website and to be included in a future publication.
