A 19th century oak primitive chair, probably Irish or possibly WelshOf comb-back form, with round-ended geometric shaped stay-rail, the rear of each flat scroll-ended arm socketed through an outer back spindle, with the hand-shaped spindle purposely left wider below the arm, the gently splayed legs mortised-and-wedged through the rectangular single-piece seat and joined by an H-form stretcher, 66cm wide x 42cm deep x 94.5cm high, (25 1/2in wide x 16 1/2in deep x 37in high)Footnotes:Literature: Claudia Kinmouth, Irish Country Furniture 1700 - 1950 (1993), pp. 34 - 39, illustrates several examples of comparable 'hedge chairs', all dated to the end of the 19th century. The author explains how this type of chair, made without glue and limited tools, employed the 'clever and essential device of interlocking the rear of the armrest with the outer back spindle'. Further essential strength was provided by a broad seat, which could be 5cm thick, as found here. However, the use of oak, rather than ash and elm, together with the presence of stretchers, may instead suggest a Welsh attribution, and suggest an earlier date, pre-19th century. See for example Richard Bebb, Welsh Furniture 1250 - 1950 (2007), Vol. II. p. 50, pl. 691, for a comparable primitive armchair, made in ash and attributed to Montgomeryshire, dated circa 1750 - 90.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Here, the martlet is lacking and the tinctures are not hatched, but it is very likely that this chair was made for a Drummond ancestor (many Drummond families in Scotland bore three wavy lines on their coats of arms) which fits with the initials 'GD' either side of the coat of arms.Sir George Drummond, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was a junior member of the family of Drummond of Milnab.For similar armchairs see the Trinity Hall Collection, Aberdeen and the Burrell Collection Glasgow, accession nos. 14.183 & 14.50.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
