E W Godwin for William Watt. A rare Old English or Jacobean armchair

POA

A rare Old English or Jacobean armchair. This early version has a wrap around cane seat, as opposed to the usual cane seat within the seat frames, something I have not come across before, and possibly a prototype following Godwin's hygienic approach in his preferred use of cane for chair seats.
