Add a piece of timeless ecclesiastical elegance to your interior with this early 20th-century Glastonbury chair, traditionally used by monks and clergy. Crafted from solid dark-stained wood, this distinctive chair features the classic X-frame construction, known for both its structural integrity and symbolic design.

Features:

• Solid wood frame with rich, dark finish

• Carved Gothic-style panels on the back and arms, including what appears to be a central medallion and stylized script (potentially Latin or religious text)

• Folding X-frame design, attributed to the original Glastonbury chairs of 15th-century England

• Decorative carvings reflecting Arts and Crafts or Gothic Revival influences

• Gently sloped armrests and a high back for added presence and comfort

Good vintage condition with expected wear consistent with age. Some minor scuffs on the legs and back. Stable and structurally sound.
