A green painted 'comb' back Windsor chair, second half 18th century, possibly Irish, the curved rectangular top rail above turned spindle supports the 'horseshoe' arms, above the solid seat, carved with ownership initials 'S*' to the side edge, on turned legs, joined by an X-shaped stretcher, 92cm high, 66cm wide, 51cm deep In addition to the 'S' carved to the side of the seat, the letter 'W' has also been carved twice to one arm terminal. Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions, old chips and splits comensurate with age and use. Some old losses. Some old repairs. In some very small areas where the paint has been worn, fragments of a red coloured paint are visible. Where the stretchers to the legs cross eachother, they have been tied in a 'primitive' manner. It is impossible to tell how old this string is, it may not be original. In addition to the 'S' carved to the side of the seat, the letter 'W' has also been carved twice to one arm terminal (see additional images). No old breaks to the legs. The chair is of solid structure. As one may expect from a 'primitive' chair, it does not sit perfectly straight and some movement and wear to the legs and structure has occurred over time. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
