Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a ladder back chair built in a square bottle with ribs on two sides and around the top. There are 2 dowel supports stretched between each leg with the ends of the dowels showing in the ends of the legs. There are 3 planks stretched between the large back uprights with the ends pegs showing. The chair seat is woven gold colored satin ribbon in a tight six by six weave. The legs of the chair extend to the edges of the bottle. The bottle is sealed with a wooden shaft extending into the bottle neck with a wooden tamper proof crosspiece in the very end making it impossible to pull the stopper out of the bottle. The cap is a rounded wooden piece attached to the shaft.
