High-Backed Dug Out Chair
Ref: 3636
A fanciful rustic dug-out chair from the High Carpathians, it has polished up superbly, the hardwood has a great colour. Looking at the rippled, knarled surface & the object seems half way between natural and man-made. An artefact evoking the pre-historic, a throne from the Pleistocene, as if the wood were shaped using ancient hand axes - but, more likely, in this case, the double headed metal hand axes or choppers that every Highlander in these parts in time-honoured fashion hung from their girdle.
Carpathians c.1900
