We included this child’s chair in our recent Forthcoming Attractions post – and mentioned that we thought it would look great after a bit of TLC.

Well, here it is – a beautiful little child’s low-back Windsor chair dating from about 1820 with curved top rail, turned legs and spindles. It’s been dusted, the spots of white paint removed and gently waxed. It does look great!

 We’re careful not to over restore furniture. Traces of original paint are retained – we love how it flakes & crackles with age…

…and also wears thin where bums and arms have rubbed it over the years to reveal the wood grain.

And here it is next to its big brother – you can really appreciate its diminutive size.
