This Aesthetic movement X-frame armchair took £11,000 against an estimate of just £100-150 at Lawrences of Crewkerne on January 18, writes Roland Arkell.
As referenced in the catalogue description, the polished deal chair is in the manner of Victorian designer Christopher Dresser. In fact, a near-identical chair formed part of the Dresser retrospective held at the Cooper-Hewitt museum, New York, in 2004.
