A compact and sculptural form, designed for private devotion, with shaped top rail for leaning and a low woven seat. Warm, honey-toned timber with a well-aged surface and good colour throughout. Visible repairs to the side stretchers beneath the seat, stable and serviceable. A characterful piece that works equally well as a hall chair, bedroom accent or occasional seat.
