An Antique Welsh Oak Spinning Chair, c. 1890

An antique Welsh oak spinning chair, c. 1890 with a gorgeous, unusual carving. These chairs were made for women to sit in while spinning wool at a wheel, designed with a low seat to sit level with the wheel and a high back with no arms to allow for the crafter to move their arms freely. Often called "love chairs", they were carved as romantic tokens or wedding gifts in British and Welsh villages. Such a lovely piece of history to have in your home—a work of art. Seat: 12"W x 11.75"D x 14.5"H Overall: 36.25"H x 14.5"D Please note: antiques can (and often do!) come with dents, chips, cracks, stains, uneven coloring, and signs of their old age—small details that contribute to big character. **Please get in touch about shipping rate discounts for multiple items, and discounted shipping rates for the Boston-area**
