A handsome late Victorian Windsor armchair, made in England circa 1880 from a combination of oak and elm with a generously proportioned elm saddle seat, prized by Windsor chairmakers for its resistance to splitting.
The high hoop back frames a pierced, fretwork-carved splat flanked by turned spindles, while the shaped arms rest on elegantly turned baluster supports. The legs are joined by an ‘H’ stretcher, adding strength to the base. Throughout, the timber has developed a rich, golden oak colour with attractive figuring in the seat.
This broad arm Windsor presents in good, solid condition, with honest age and patina consistent with over a century of use, and is fully sound for everyday seating.
A versatile piece, equally at home as a statement armchair at the head of a dining table, a reading chair, or a striking accent piece in a hallway or study. Would also suit anyone building a collection of antique Windsor or country chairs.

Circa 1760, this substantial French provincial oak enfilade comes from the Breton/Western France tradition and works equally well as a dresser base, sideboard, buffet or serving cabinet. The rounded-corner shaped top sits over a case built around two carved central drawers flanked by a pair of panelled cupboard doors, each door carrying a star parquetry motif as its centrepiece.

Inside, the case has a two-plank shelved interior. The piece stands on cabriole legs with well-formed scrolled feet, and a carved, shaped apron runs the full width beneath the case.
Genuine age and use show throughout the oak, which carries a deep, rich patina built up honestly over more than 250 years. This particular enfilade carries excellent provenance, having previously been part of noted Melbourne dealer Graham Geddes' collection. Strong French provincial lines paired with confident carving throughout; presented with a lovely wax finish and ready to go straight into a home.

A handsome early 19th-century English ladder back armchair, likely made in Lancashire or Yorkshire, where this distinctive wavy-slat form was a hallmark of country chair-making traditions. The tall back is fitted with six graduated, gently scalloped ladder splats, rising to turned nipple finials, and constructed from a mix of ash, elm and oak — typical of the vernacular approach to chair-making in this region, where timber was chosen for strength and availability rather than uniformity.
The shaped elm arms have been worn smooth with age and use, terminating over turned front supports, while the front legs are joined by a bold double baluster stretcher. The generous seat has been re-rushed and is in good condition, with an even, well-woven pattern. The chair retains an excellent rich, dark patina overall, with honest wear, scuffing and minor surface marks consistent with age and genuine use — nothing structural, and entirely in keeping with a piece of this age and character.
This kind of wavy ladder back armchair — sometimes called a Lancashire or Yorkshire ladder back chair, or a country ladder back armchair — was a staple of the English farmhouse and cottage, valued as much today for its sculptural silhouette as its comfort. A lovely armchair for a kitchen, study or reading corner, equally at home in a period interior or as a characterful statement piece in a more contemporary setting.
