A beautifully sculptural English bobbin corner chair, dating to the early 20th century. Turned by hand in the traditional bobbin (spool) style, this form has roots in 17th-century England and saw a revival during the Arts & Crafts movement, celebrated for its honest craftsmanship and rhythmic detail. The ebonized finish gives it a striking, graphic presence, while the hand-woven rush seat adds warmth and texture. Designed to tuck neatly into a corner, it’s as functional as it is visually compelling. England, circa 1920.
Wear consistent with age and use. Minor surface wear and light scuffs to the finish throughout. Rush seat remains intact and usable, with some fraying and minor losses visible at the edges. Structurally sound and sturdy, with a nice, even patina.
Dimensions:
Seat height: 17”
Width: 16”
Depth: 16”
Overall height: 27.5”
