Antique Hadden

Description

Elizabethan oak wainscot chair
The low back with plain back panel with solid squat arms that are dovetailed in with circular scratch design,elm seat with fantastic grain and colour the top rail and side rails with rope design
The thick back legs with moulded edge , turned front legs united by a box stretcher.
The front right hand leg has signs of fire damage,this is also evident under the seat and arm and rear leg.
Because of this the right hand side stretcher is replaced ,i presume that this chair was on the hearth to close to the fire one evening,but what a story...
It has been braced underneath with two metal rods,a solid chair that is quite rare circa 1560.
