A Rare & Charming Early 19th Century Pine Miniature Lambing Chair Retaining Superb Colour And Patina, Probably Made As Childs Toy Scale Model Originally
(Full scale Lambing Chairs were most common sights within English, Welsh & Scottish Farmhouse kitchens throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. When ewes gave birth they allowed shepherds to sit all night in them resting by the open fire protected from draughts by the chairs wings and hood, whilst still being able to be on hand as and when required at short notice. This particular piece is of course a miniature example and we believe that it may well have been made as a scale model for a small child to use as a toy, perhaps even sitting one of their dolls in, whilst their father continued his night time vigil in the full size counterpart.)
