A late 18th C. Oak Lambing Chair.  Featuring a high panelled back, carved shaped arms and a large drawer with an iron handle beneath the seat.
A nice piece of vernacular country furniture for a kitchen or beside a fireplace.
Traditionally these were used by shepherds to sit by a fire overnight during lambing season, the storage beneath the seat being used for blankets or to keep sickly lambs for warmth.
