An amazing primitive and naive vernacular 'Hedge' chair, also termed Famine chair, that dates from the 1800s and originates from England.
The piece sits on three legs, has a curved back, and a slightly undulating seat which gives it a great aesthetic. Befitting of interiors that blend pieces of different styles and ages, the piece would work equally well in a contrasting modern interior as well as traditional and also one that harnesses the stripped-back, primitive, rustic, wabi-sabi aesthetic that is so on trend currently and embraces and helps us see natural beauty in imperfection.
The piece has a great patina that only the nature of the material and time can produce. This item is functional, you can sit on it and it is fine for occasional use - given its age and pegged vernacular build it may be prudent not to overuse it.
Condition: The piece naturally shows wear commensurate with its age and use. Some of the age characteristics are no longer active woodworm, some losses, and imperfections - as there are minimal fixings there will be little wobbles and in general please expect the endearing quirks of a piece this age and type as you are buying a piece of unique history that is full of character.
