This type of chair is called a "three-footed" chair in one seventeenth century document. It is a common form in English and Dutch furniture of the period. Its seat is a beveled panel fitted into grooves in the 3 seat rails. This requires a complex interlocking of the tenons on these rails - in this case a small round tenon pierces a larger rectangular tenon.
Ash, seat is cherry
