Antique Oak Ladder Back Armchair with Original Rush Seat

This beautifully aged antique ladder back armchair dates from the late 19th to early 20th century and showcases the honest craftsmanship of traditional English country furniture.

Crafted from solid oak, the chair features elegant turned spindles, gently shaped arms, and a rich patina developed over more than a century of use. The original woven rush seat remains in very good condition, offering both comfort and character.

Sturdy, well-proportioned, and full of presence, this piece works perfectly as a farmhouse dining armchair, a desk chair, or an occasional chair in a characterful interior.
