A beautiful 19th Century high back Tavern Settle, most likely originating from the Westcountry. It has a lovely patina with a thick elm seat, wing shaped arms and a planked pine back which is slightly curved. It is a good large size, plenty big enough for two people to sit on but still narrow enough to not take up too much space.
It is in good condition for its age and is strong and sturdy. It is very original and there are signs of age and wear and signs of historic worm in places but nothing detrimental. Where necessary small repairs and restorations have been made over the years and all the old worm has been treated as a precaution. The whole piece has been cleaned and given a gentle polish and is ready for use.
