The top bow is fitted into the arm bow with a through joint, it also has a scribed edge line, the ten elliptical straight spindles go through the back of the arm bow and are fitted into the top bow.

The four legs have a pattern of four rings, ball, three rings and a single ring at the lower end of the leg, the short back stretchers have a ball and tapered swell fitted to the crinoline stretcher then fitted into back legs.

All patterned turned parts on this chair are made on a Bobbin Bow Lathe.

Two coats of finishing oil and two applications of high quality wax polish to achieve a very deep lustre finish.
