19th Century Painted Irish Country Antrim Hedge Chair

£475.00

Height 70 cm
Width 44.5 cm
Depth 40 cm

This 19th Century Irish chair from County Antrim has been much loved for over 150 years. Overpainted many times over its life, the current top layer is a beautiful blue with other layers of red and green showing through in places. At some point in the past it lost an upright on the back which was never replaced but gives an insight into how precious this chair was to it’s owners who continued to use it for generations after the loss. The missing stick gives it a wonderful sculptural form.

A great chair.
