Description

WINDSOR FARMHOUSE ARMCHAIR, TURNED SPINDLE BACK, IN BEECH, ASH & ELM, C1880

A Windsor farmhouse armchair with turned spindles in the back, scroll over arms, slender under arm turnings and interesting shaped top comb rail. There is a maker’s stamp on the rear edge of the seat ‘W E Bush’. Dr Bernard Cotton’s epic tome ‘The English Regional Chair’ records a ‘William Bush’ as a chair maker in Nottinghamshire in the latter part of the 19th century and this may well be a chair of his making. Original condition and finish.
