Welcome back to Antiques Mysteries<\/em>, where every object hides a story\u2014and sometimes a warning. We\u2019re digging into one of England\u2019s most infamous haunted relics: the Busby Stoop Chair<\/strong>. Suspended above the bar in a North Yorkshire pub, this crooked oak seat is said to bring death to anyone who dares sit in it. <\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a twist: furniture experts say the chair may be a century too young for the crime it\u2019s tied to.<\/p>\n

So how do you tell the age of a chair?<\/strong> In this episode, we explore the subtle but revealing clues:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  • Joinery techniques<\/strong>, like hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joints vs. machine-made precision.<\/li>\n
  • Tool marks<\/strong> and peg placement<\/strong>, which evolved as craftsmanship gave way to industrial methods.<\/li>\n
  • Turnings and leg shapes<\/strong>, which reflect shifting styles and available technology.<\/li>\n
  • Even the tree\u2019s growth rings<\/strong> can hint at when the wood was harvested.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Join us as we unravel the layers of legend and lumber in The Chair That Shouldn\u2019t Exist<\/em>.<\/p>\n
