This is an antique ladies Colonial veranda chair. An English, beech and cane extending carrying seat, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1895.

A rare and delightful outdoor lounge chair, with added carrying handles
Displays a desirable aged patina and in good order throughout
Quality beech stocks present fine grain interest and warm caramel hues
Superb cane back rest and seat squab, in taut and intact condition

Delightful chair for lounging in a shaded corner of the garden or upon a veranda
In period, the extending front handles and fixed rear handles aided movement of the occupant
Gently falling arms with a bowed middle terminate in scrolled knuckles
Standing upon a quartet of turned and tapering legs

Maker's plaque to the rear with minor historic repair, reads Carter, 147 Holborn, E.C.
The presence of Trade Mark indicates this piece existed prior to the 1899 merger of John Carter with Alfred Carter
The former had accused the latter of copying his work, hence the addition of trade mark to the emblem

This is a fascinating antique ladies Colonial veranda chair, with rare and unusual carrying arms to the front and rear. Ideal for use in a garden setting, or as a distinctive indoor seat. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home or outdoors.
