<p>[QUOTE="Copperdragon333, post: 10585792, member: 84989"]Hey all, I just picked up this really cool old Windsor chair and would like some input from the more learned out there. The lady I bought it from had it for 45+ years, and the antique store where she got it said it was English. It’s solid oak with great patina and wear. It measures 35” to the top of the back, 16” floor to seat and opens 21” at the arms. It looks rather smallish to me, but then again folks were indeed a bit shorter in the nineteenth century, if that’s the period it’s from. So can anyone confirm if it is indeed English, if it’s an adult or child’s size chair and lastly the approximate age? [ATTACH=full]531021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]531020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]531022[/ATTACH] It is rather crude in its construction, and the spindles are clearly not uniform in size or symmetry. Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
