Antique Yew Wood Windsor Armchair English Country House Chair Hoop Back Windsor

A superb antique yew wood Windsor armchair of exceptional colour and character. This charming country house chair features a traditional hoop back with turned spindle supports and an attractive pierced central splat. The shaped arm supports and turned legs are united by a crinoline stretcher giving both strength and elegance. The beautifully figured solid yew seat is undoubtedly the highlight of the piece displaying outstanding grain patterns, burrs, knots and rich natural colour that have developed over generations. The continuous arm rail also exhibits wonderful figuring and patination.
