I WANT AN ANTIQUE HIGH CHAIR
admin | February 19, 2008 While it isn’t easy to find an antique chair, they can be found if you have an idea of what type of high chair you are looking for. It would be difficult for me to list antique high chairs, as they would probably be sold by the time you read this article. I will tell you about an antique high chair found on the Ruby Lane site.
This high chair was purchased from a Southern estate. This is a heavy wooden high chair, probably made of oak. The chair is 3 feet tall and 15 inches across the back. The 10 inch x 17 inch tray slides off and on, but one metal bracket has been replaced on one side so the tray will only lock on one side. There are three spindles on each side and a footrest. The chair legs are angled out at the bottom to give the chair more stability. The finish is a dark oak, very close to a pecan finish. The tray has many teeth marks as if a child were allowed to teethe on it, which gives the chair an abundance of character. There are a few marks on the tray and the arms of the chair where the tray slides on, in all the finish is quite nice. This antique high chair can be yours for a price of $225.
