Description

A Joined Oak Carved Child’s Highchair on Stand, initialled R.D. and dated 1688.

An early child’s chair, featuring a scrolled top rail set above a tracery carved back panel and flanked by carved down-swept arms. The later boarded seat is raised above a carved seat rail. The chair is secured, by means of a charming wooden screw, to a later Victorian stand with spiral-turned legs, the proportions of which sit sympathetically with the original structure.

The stand is designed to function independently as a table once the chair is removed and incorporates an earlier carved panel at its centre.

Overall, a particularly delightful and uncommon piece.
