A charming oak window or hall seat in the Carolean Revival taste, circa 1900 to 1920s, of long, low and very useful proportions. The rectangular caned seat retains its good old colour and tension, and is set within a plain moulded frame with small turned finials at the corners. The seat is raised on six turned legs of baluster form, three to each side, with square blocks at the stretcher junctions and neat turned bun feet. The legs are joined by boldly cut barley-twist stretchers, a lovely detail that gives the piece real rhythm and a distinctly seventeenth-century flavour. The oak has aged to a rich, warm chestnut brown with a soft, waxed patina, and the cane carries the gentle wear and honest marks you would expect of a piece that has been used and enjoyed for the best part of a century. At this length it is wonderfully adaptable, equally suited at the end of a bed, in a hallway, beneath a window or in front of a fireplace, and it can also serve as a low display surface for books or a tray. Solid, decorative and full of period character, a most appealing seat in good original condition.
