A handsome late 19th century English high-back Windsor armchair, dating to approximately 1880–1900.
The chair has a wonderfully imposing silhouette, with its unusually tall back formed from seven gently curved vertical splats beneath a broad shaped crest rail. Sweeping arms are supported on turned uprights, while the deeply shaped saddle seat displays particularly attractive grain and figuring.
The turned legs are joined by stretchers for strength, while the generous rake of the back makes this a particularly comfortable and characterful example.
What really sets this chair apart is its scale. Standing 109.5 cm high, it has significantly more presence than a standard dining Windsor and works extremely well as a standalone occasional chair, fireside chair or statement piece.
The surface has developed a beautiful, naturally aged patina, with areas of rubbing and lighter timber showing through particularly around the arms, legs and crest rail. These marks tell the story of a chair that has clearly been used and enjoyed for many generations.
A strong piece of traditional English country furniture with excellent decorative appeal.
