Fabulous and extremely rare pair of very early, c1930s adzed oak chairs by Thomas "Gnomeman" Whittaker (1910-1991).
With their original string seating. Of excellent colour and age patination.
These were originally part of a larger set made for his own use at home.
We have had the privilege of speaking at length to his daughter who confirmed as such.
She also confirmed that he did at one time work with Robert "Mouseman" Thompson.
Please note that only one of the chairs has that beautifully carved & rarely seen, polychrome gnome.
Dimensions approx 36" overall height; 18" height to seat, depth at base 19.5", 17.5" width at base
