Details
An ash elm and fruitwood Windsor armchair, East Anglia, late 18th early 19th century
with a pierced wheat-sheaf style splat and outswept arms with incurved supports, on turned legs joined by stretchers, one replaced
Literature
A similar chair is illustrated in Dr B. Cotton The English Regional Chair, Woodbridge, 1991, page 256, figure EA 165.

This unusual design of Windsor chair is attributed to East Anglia on the basis that the wheat-sheaf style splat and the leg turning both appear in some Mendlesham chairs.
