WS 37 Lincolnshire rush-seated ladder back side chair |
Lincolnshire rush seated chairs are usually made to the most utilitarian design, just one step up from a stool but take a close look at these front legs: the person who turned them was skilled in design and manufacture; the rings, coves and quirks are crisply executed with the pad feet expertly made. Local vernacular furniture with more than a hint of sophistication.
There is similarity in the construction marks on this chair to WS 87, WS 70, WS 54 and WS 52.
