Doe and Hope

Description

Having a shaped seat and arms, eight-spindled hoop back, with turned front legs united by an H-stretcher.

The chair has a rich and colourful patina but the condition is only fair to good, with a quantity of old worm, and a handful of old repairs. Some joints have a small amount of movement but the chair remains stable and operative. The colour is superb particulary to the burr elm seat.

This is a charming farmhouse example that could be used to decorate and add evocative appeal to a nursery or any neglected corner.
