Description
A rare pair of tall William Birch of High Wycombe, rush seated oak settles, retailed through Liberty of London c1895. Each with tall turned finials and arched backs over rush backrests and seats. Raised on ring-turned tapering front legs and stretchers. Both seats and backrests have been newly rushed and they still retain a shade of green which disappears over time. The rear side of the backrests have been weaved with careful consideration to ensure the knots have been tied and hidden to make the back view very neat.
Both are in excellent condition, no breaks or repairs.
Each settle is 146cmH x 126cmW x 63cmD
