Very Rare Welsh Early 19th Century Antique Lip-Work Armchair
This rare Welsh antique armchair is such a rare survivor, known as a Lip-Work chair, which is the technique of coiled wheat straw basketry which is bound together by canes of bramble and strips of holly bark with a wooden structure underneath. The original lining is period oil cloth, very similar to the fabric which was used to line Welsh coracle boats. This rare Welsh antique Lip Work armchair is a good full size and is in amazingly intact and strong condition. This model is almost identical to one shown in the Victor Chinnery Oak Furniture book. A rare early 19th century antique Lip Work straw chair that is in incredible condition.
