19th Century Vernacular Windsor Chair
A rare and unusual vernacular Windsor style stick chair in oak and ash, dating from the early 19th century, with a slab seat, stick back, and simply turned supports to the armrest. The seat is unusually deep, quite narrow and is very comfortable (if you are slim of hip, which makes me think it was probably made for a man!) The chair is completely original and has the most fantastic finish and patina…

This chair is an absolutely stunning piece of vernacular furniture in completely original condition. We believe (though aren’t totally certain) that it originates from the West Country - if anyone has any opinions about its origins please do get in touch as I would love to know for sure. It has a great outline and has real presence. I especially like the shape of the armrests, and there is a very sweet little timber collar where the side stretcher joins into the rear leg that must have been added at the time of construction to make the joint secure. It has its original stained/painted finish which has worn away beautifully were handled, and developed a great patina elsewhere.
Condition: Excellent original condition, very solid with no wobbles or loose joints.
Dimensions:
Width - 62cm across the forelegs.
Depth - 59cm
Height - 80.5cm
