A large scale and characterful Welsh arm chair in oak, the twin panel back either side of a centre rail inlaid with four fruitwood hearts, this was clearly a marriage gift or love token. There are two sets of initials to the back of the deep top rail and the uprights are all chamfered, the original thick two piece seat is present and all rails are also original. The surface patina is superb. This is an extremely robust chair and the heart inlays have a naive quality which is extremely endearing. A wonderful chair of great presence.

Height 111 cm ( 43 3/4”)
Width 65 cm (25 1/2”)
Depth 49cm (19 1/4’)
Seat height 44cm (17 1/4”)
