17th Century William & Mary Oak Armchair

This is a solid oak armchair with a tall, elaborately carved backrest, indicative of 17th-century English design, possibly Jacobean or early William and Mary in style. The chair is sturdy with a strong, traditional structure, featuring square construction and turned legs. The backrest is the most visually striking part of the chair, richly carved with geometric patterns, including a central diamond-shaped motif surrounded by circular designs. Above this, there are intricate vine-like carvings with scrollwork, leaves, and floral elements that may include grapevine motifs, all of which are indicative of Renaissance influence, common in Jacobean furniture.  This chair is a striking example of 17th-century English craftsmanship, combining both Jacobean and possibly early William and Mary influences. The intricate carvings on the backrest, turned legs, and solid oak construction make it a significant piece of historical furniture that can be yours today!
