A wonderful primitive comb back stick chair which is made from a mixture of woods – the shaped cresting rail and top section of the arm is made from beech. Ash has been used for the seat, sticks and legs and the arms are formed out of two naturally shaped pieces of sycamore. There are traces of original green paint.
