Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this fantastic early 20th century antique Arts & Crafts Tiger Oak side chair. The chair is crafted from bold grain Tiger Oak and is finished in a warm golden brown color. The chair has three metal inlay flowers on the crest and three metal inlay flowers on the splat. The flowers have brass stems, copper petals, and a silver colored metal used for the bulbs likely nickel, pewter, or silver. We couldn’t locate any makers mark but a production number of 6289 is written in pencil on the underside. We’ve handled Roycroft chairs with similar feet but they’re usually stamped and are a little different stylistically. The chair is in great condition with our only notes being an old repair at the top of one of the stiles and the finial cap on that stile was reglued facing the wrong way. We’ll have our restorer rotate the finial cap and also ask him to touch up the old repair to make it even less noticeable. The chair measures 18” wide x 20 1/2” deep x 42 1/4” tall with a seat height of 18 1/2”.
