Antique Elm and Yew Wood Windsor Chair

A good example of a Windsor chair dating from the mid 19th century. It has a low hooped back enclosing tapering spindles and a pierced back splat. It stands on turned legs joined by a crinoline stretcher. It has a nicely shaped Elm seat with a wonderful grain and the hoop and arms are made from Yew wood. It is in good original condition and is strong and sturdy with no major damages. There are signs of age and use and some light marks on the seat and around the legs but nothing detrimental. There are a few minor old repairs and a small split to the side of the seat but nothing untoward and it has developed a lovely rich patina. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use. The chair stands approximately 35 1/2" (90cm) high and 20 1/2" (52cm) wide across the arms. The seat is 15 3/4" (40cm) deep and 17" (43cm) high. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
