Lot 538
An unusual early-19th century child's ash and elm seated high chair of good colour; spindle-back, single seat and on high turned front legs united by a high worn stretcher, 89cm high CONDITION REPORT: There seems to be some historic woodworm in the elm seat, the front stretcher is very worn where feet have obviously been placed against it. There are spare holes for stretchers in the front legs . There is evidence of historic woodworm to the back of the seat. There are scuffs, marking and small “marks and indentations” mostly around the leg area commensurate with age. The colour appears reasonable, it has been polished with wax. One of the vertical uprights has been strengthened at the back where it meets the turned top rail.
Lot 571
An 18th century style (probably late-19th / early-20th century) red Morocco-leather-upholstered and mahogany show-wood open-armed library armchair; the shaped moulded arms headed with floral rosettes and leading down to square moulded Marlborough-style legs united by an H-form stretcher CONDITION REPORT: There is scuffing and scratching to the leather, there are a couple of minor scratches to the leather at top at the back near the serpentine shape. The rest of the back looks fairly reasonable, the arms have lightened in colour considerably where the arms join the scrolling carved wooden supports and there are scuffs and tears generally commensurate with age along the arms. The seat leather also has scuffing and there are some “minor” scratches with a 2cm scratch approx. 4.5cm from the front. The red leather has also lightened considerably at the end of the seat where people's legs have rubbed against it. At the rear of the chair the leather has also sustained some scratching and scuffing etc., with an approx. 15cm “vertical fold” of the leather which runs pretty much from the top down to the last 4cm of the leather. In terms of wood the chair appears to be in fairly good physical condition with no major cracks, breakages or restorations noted. There is scuffing around the bottom of the legs as you would expect and underneath four circular metal pinions have been inserted into the bottoms of the legs where castors would have been originally. The 'H' form stretcher exhibits scuffs, scratches and general wear etc., as does the legs viewed from the front and sides. The moulded edges have had considerable wear although in our opinion a good polish with bri-wax or something similar would take a lot of this away. From the front, the right hand wooden support has sustained a “bang” approx. half way up and there is bruising to this area on the right hand scrolling upright above the leather. The left hand scrolling upright has similar bruising and is lightening around the tops of the flower head terminal, although not perfect the chair exhibits marks of age and every day usage but in our opinion is very sturdy, eminently usable and would benefit enormously from a vigorous clean and polish.
Lot 550
An opposing pair of Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson (Kilburn oak and leather-upholstered side chairs), each with 'woven' latticework back above a studded tan leather seat and with typical faceted front legs united by stretchers; one chair with signature mouse to front left leg, the other chair with signature mouse to front right leg, (some water damage to wood and also to upholstered seats) (2) CONDITION REPORT: We think these are circa 1970's/80's. We are not sure of the date of these we can only go on what the vendor has told us, they were her father's for many years. To the best of our knowledge they probably date from the 1980's. There are no repairs, they seem to be in good stable condition. The leather seats and some of the woodwork is water marked and stained but there are no repairs, splits or major problems.
Lot 546
PLEASE NOTE - IN THE AUCTIONEER'S OPINION, THIS IS A 'MATCHED' SET A rare set of ten (8+2) early 19th century fruitwood elm and beech Windsor chairs (Buckinghamshire region); the chair in the manner of the Markham workshop, High Wycombe, the carvers with ladder-back-style rails, each rail centred with a carved roundel above an elm saddle-seat, the outswept shaped arms above bowed supports, each chair raised on four turned tapering slightly splaying legs united by an 'H' form stretcher, overall of good originality, colour and patination (10) CONDITION REPORT: These appear to have a nice overall original colour and patination with the lighter areas along the back rails, arms and seats as expected. There is some scuffing mostly towards the bottom of the legs commensurate with age. Where the chair legs affix to the undersides of the elm seats these appear to be tight and therefore the chairs are mainly sturdy. One elm seat has an approx. 3/4cm crack running from the front into the seat itself and this can be seen on the front on the edge and also underneath. The rails appear in good condition, some of the back legs exhibit scuffing, scratches and marks as you would expect commensurate with age. One other elm seat does have a 2/3cm crack coming in from the back although this is a very tight crack and is only visibly upon close inspection. There is also one other elm seats also has a crack where the right hand vertical support runs into it. Another chair has a crack at the back of the seat where the right hand vertical runs into it. There is some minor evidence of historic woodworm to some of the chair legs have “splashing” etc. One of the carvers has historic woodworm to the seat (mostly to the front) and also has a split to the right hand arm rest where it meets the bowed support and there is some evidence that this arm has been re-strengthened with a screw which has been plugged afterwards. The chairs are not without faults but in our opinion could be restored to a high level with nice colour patination and condition by a qualified restorer. The armchair with the sticker on the arms where they affix to the vertical uprights have been strengthened at some time. Some of the elm seats have minor twisting/bowing. The chairs have been entered privately from a good client and are in reasonable original general overall condition for age.
