Early 19th century fruitwood Mendlesham chair
An excellent and unusual example of an early 19th century Mendlesham chair made of fruitwood with an elm seat and of good patina (colour).
The fruitwood is possibly plum (due to the variation of wood colour on the arms).
This chair consists of a central pierced heart back splat with two unusually decoratively turned spindles either side, most chairs of this style have three plain spindles either side of the back splat.
There are three turned balls (buttons) under the top rail and a further three turned balls (buttons) on the bottom rail, most chairs of this style have just two of these balls on the bottom rail.
The arms are of an exceptionally rare shape for a Mendlesham chair as they are of a scroll design and sweep outwards. There is an old repair to the right scroll arm where the tip has been replaced.
This leads down to the elm of seat of superb patina supported by four turned legs with an H stretcher below.
This particular chair oozes with character and appears to have spent time standing on an uneven surface and has therefore become a distorted shape, although still remains both usable and stable.
The Mendlesham chair was originally made in the Suffolk village of Mendlesham by the Day family and thought to have been designed by Richard Day.
It is thought other makers also made these chairs in surrounding villages nearby to Mendlesham.
These chairs were thought to have been made for special occasions such as weddings & baptisms
& were a very sophisticated design for a provincial chair.
Examples of the Mendlesham chair can be found in Christchurch Mansion, Christchurch Park in Ipswich, Suffolk.
This chair is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a property.
