Object History

Unknown.

Object Literature

A great deal of Irish country furniture was painted as it protected timber from damp and could be easily renewed to incorporate a new colour scheme in a home. This carpenter’s chair came from a small cottage in the Poyntzpass locality, in County Down and once formed part of a parlour set.

A good example of Irish country furniture in un-meddled with order.

Object Condition

With a good rich colour and deep patination to the many layers of paint, this well used and cherished chair is stable and there is only a little movement in the joints being structurally sound with an aged split to the seat.
