British Colonial Teakwood Planter’s Chair

Early 20th century

SGD 2,400

A British colonial planter’s’ chair in teakwood. Each arm is composed of a plank with a rounded end, joined with a dome headed dowel to a nearly identical plank that rotates out into a footrest. When not in use these planks are stored beneath

the arms. The front legs with turned rings and tapered to terminate in a peg foot. The rear legs are squared off and moderately raked. The front feet are higher so the seat inclines. The seat and the back have recently been re-caned in a diamond pattern each in one continuous section in a typical colonial design. The seat height is 40 cm or 15 ¾”.

The chair is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The teak wood that this piece has been made of has a warm colour and an attractive, straight grain.
