Den Young Windsor Chair (signed & dated c1987) @ £50.00
Here is a rather lovely wooden Windsor chair which is signed underneath by Den Young and dated 1987. He was a well renowned master craftsman and I have been told that he retired some years ago. This is a beautifully crafted piece of furniture with a delicately spindled back and arms, exquisitely constructed just like a real-life size Windsor chair. The legs have also been attractively turned. It was made as a collector’s item and not meant as a toy (even back in 1987) so it has never been played with as such to my knowledge, but I have to say that there is some considerable wear to the staining, including some scuffing, which actually gives it a well-used and quite aged appearance. Pristine condition this is not, although structurally this is incredibly sound. Hence this would sit quite comfortably and realistically in both an antique/vintage dolls house, as well as a more modern house. Measures 2 ½” at widest point (ends of arms) x 2” deep x 4 ¼” back height x 1 ¾” sitting height. Lovely little chair.
