Chair

This chair is a typical example of the 'Glasgow pattern' of chair, produced widely in Scotland during the 19th century and into the 20th century.

Chair of dark varnished wood, with a plain seat, slightly splayed rectangular back legs, and tapering rectangular front legs, 1880 - 1920

The defining characteristics of the Glasgow pattern were the armless square form, tapering legs, a top rail inset between the stiles and a decorated stay rail. The seat was usually boarded and inset between the seat rails.
