Windsor Armchair with Fretted Wheel Motif

A tall back Windsor armchair with a shaped elm seat, the steam bent ash hoop back having a central splat of ‘gothic’ design with a wheel fretted motif, bisected by the conforming ash arm-bow supported on two front spindle turned uprights. Raised on turned legs connected by H-form elliptical stretchers, retaining a dark oxidised varnished surface, worn through on the front of the arms to reveal a lovely pale honey coloured ash. The design attributable to a Buckinghamshire maker c.1800-1840
