Description: | This fine Stuart (1603-1689) armchair is made of oak. It has a panelled back with a carved diamond-shaped motif and flowers. The legs are connected together to create a rectangular base for the chair. The chair is typical of the sort found in a wealthy merchant's house on Newcastle's quayside in the mid 1600s. The houses were timber-framed and had 5 floors, including a garret in the roof for the servants. The main room of the house would be located on the first floor where the merchant would conduct his business and watch over his ships on the River Tyne. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East home life | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
