Buyer's Premium:

A Windsor-style hoop-back side chair, likely dating from the 20th century. The construction features a steam-bent wooden hoop back enclosing four vertical spindles with simple turned details. It is fitted with a solid, shaped saddle seat, showing a prominent grain pattern consistent with elm or similar hardwood. The chair is supported by turned legs joined by stretchers. The entire piece has been finished with a dark brown stain. Two adhesive stickers are present on the seat: a yellow rectangular sticker with the handwritten characters 481 and a smaller white rectangular sticker with the digit 2. No maker’s marks or stamps are visible.

Standard dining chair dimensions.


Condition report:

The chair is in used condition, showing signs of age and wear. There are visible surface scratches, scuffs, and areas of finish loss, particularly along the edges of the seat and the ends of the legs. The stickers on the seat are remnants of previous cataloguing or pricing.
