An Arts and Crafts spinning chair of traditional three-legged construction, crafted from a dark-toned hardwood, likely oak?. The chair features a characteristically tall, slender back of tapering form, terminating in a twin-scroll cresting. The back is decorated with two panels of hand-carved interlacing Celtic-style knotwork. The circular seat is joined to the back via a through-tenon and is supported by three turned, splayed legs with simple ring detailing. The seat surface is heavily carved with a central four-looped Celtic knot motif within a quatrefoil border, surrounded by a repeating notched or thumb-print rim. The construction utilizes traditional joinery, including visible tenons. No maker’s marks or signatures are legible.
