18th Century Hooped Back Windsor Chair
18th Century Hooped Back Windsor Chair
English, West Country,
Circa 1780.
Description:
This fine example of a hooped back Windsor chair, with traces of original green paint. Give this chair an exceptional presence with its primitive construction, patina & colour.

The shaped saddle seat is made from a thick piece of elm. The legs & stretchers, made from ash. The back legs are simple in construction having been hand drawn. It is the front legs and stretchers which have been turned to give appealing detail to this chair.
