Description
Wood and woven cane chair that Jeremy Bentham's Auto-Icon sits on.
Regency sabre legged chair with brass rosette and furls on backsplats, and a woven cane seat. There is one furl missing on the top left of the backsplat, and some evidence of old wood boring insect activity in the form of entrance and exit holes. The back two legs have screw holes at the bottom, and the woven cane seat has eight holes drilled into it where the auto-icon is bolted into place.
