An uncommon circa 1800 English Georgian period country ladderback fireside armchair in elm with woven rush seat.
Delightfully proportioned, with … more An uncommon circa 1800 English Georgian period country ladderback fireside armchair in elm with woven rush seat.
Delightfully proportioned, with the tall six-slat back “towering” over the extra-low seat, and the frame having a laid-back profile. Hand-crafted of solid elm, with nicely turned arms, legs, and stretcher. Stands on carved club feet in front and simple metal band-reinforced feet in back. Displays very handsome authentic antique character, color, and patina throughout.
Natural woven rush seat is likely not original, though it does have some age to it, is period-appropriate, and complements the overall look.
Designed to bring a hearthside sitter closer to the fire, with its seat also being at a perfect height for a child. Antique ladderback fireside chairs such as this are quite uncommon, with one having served as direct inspiration for a sought after 1939 interpretation by Gio Ponti for Casa e Giardino. less
