A George III walnut, fruitwood and elm high comb-back Windsor chair, Thames Valley, circa 1790


The hooped back supporting four tapering long spindles either side of a central solid vase-shaped splat, the gently outsplayed armrest on spindle and front crook-shaped supports, the bell-shaped saddle-seat with scribed edge, raised on cabriole front legs and simple turned back legs joined by a crinoline stretcher, 60.5cm wide x 56cm deep x 100cm high, (23 1/2in wide x 22in deep x 39in high)
|Literature:Michael Harding-Hill, Windsor Chairs (2003), pp. 2 & 48, illustrates in colour a very similar chair. However, this Lot appears better proportioned and has - with the addition of an ogee top - a more accomplished splat.
