Child's armchair of wicker, with willow rods and trim, and beech wood legs. The tub-shaped chair has a woven wicker seat, rounded at the back edge, with the back and sides of thin criss-crossed sticks of willow, all finished with a plaited edge of willow. The sides are reinforced with a length of beech wood dowelling just behind each of the front legs. The skirt of the chair is made up of vertical and crossed willow rods between two horizontal bands of woven willow, and the legs are of beech dowelling. A beech stretcher runs immediately beneath the front edge of the seat.
