Chair

This laburnum chair was acquired in Aberdeen but probably made in Angus or Fife where the 'button back' armed chair was popular in the early 19th century.

The seat is probably a replacement.

Furniture made from Scots laburnum (Cytisus Alpinus) generally originates from Perthshire or Angus, occasionally from Fife.
