A charming late 19th century Scottish crofter’s armchair, this is a sturdy little vernacular piece with a seat height of only 32 cm.
– Spindle back.
– Turned legs, arm supports and styles.
– Splayed back legs, one constructed at more of an angle than the other.
– Tactile concave arms and top rail, smoothed over time and with a lovely patina.
– Seat plank set onto a boxed seat frame.
– Leg tenon joints visible on the seat surface.
– Rustic design, with low seat.
This appealing chair will look great in a cottage, perhaps by a fireplace or wood burning stove.
