A rare Charles I box-seat closed-back side chair, Lancashire, circa 1630-40, the well-carved back panel with a ‘Tudor rose’ on a leafy-stem within a stiff-leaf filled arch and pillars, beneath a double-scroll cresting integral to a meandering floral-carved top rail, historic replaced hinged boarded seat, with flower lunette-carved seat rails, including the rear seat rail which is rarely carved, on columnar-turned front legs, joined by plain stretchers, 45cm deep, 47cm wide, 96cm high.For a Charles I joined oak armchair, almost certainly from the same workshop, see Tobias Jellinek, ‘Early British Chairs and Seat 1500 to 1700’ (2000), p. 64, pl. 39, English private collection.
