Restoration of antique Windsor chair

An old chair repair

This early nineteenth century Windsor chair had suffered much damage to the extent that the back arm joint had been severely weakened ,resulting in this somewhat basic repair probably carried out about 50 years ago.After dismantling the old repair ans cleaning, the joint was repaired by sandwiching the horizontal wooden rail between two metal plates. The repair was then filled and coloured in as you can see in the image.
