Description
This chair is a document in history, once a great country made Elizabethan chair, now much altered. The arms have been cut down in size and refitted in the 18th century, and bottom back board added for reducing draughts. The front carved rail with nulling added for decoration, but in the 17th century, and lastly the seat an early 19th century replacement, all in all a beautiful wreck.
P.S Not expensive either!
