The chair features a graceful curved yoke back, sweeping arms and a finely carved central splat decorated with figures and foliate motifs, all highlighted by a warm honey-brown patina.
The shaped apron is intricately carved with scrolling floral decoration, while the panelled seat and exposed grain showcase the natural beauty of the timber.
