An intriguing and uncommon assembly of Welsh slate splitters chairs, crafted using a mix of woods such as Pine, Elm, and Oak.
Dating back to the late 18th or early 19th century, these chairs offer a unique glimpse into the craftsmanship of the time.
For more than 1,800 years, slate quarrying has been a prominent activity in North Wales. The versatile material played a role in constructing segments of the Roman fort in Segontium, Caernarfon, and in the creation of Edward I’s castle in Conwy.
However, it was during the 18th-century Industrial Revolution that the slate industry experienced significant growth and development.
The Caernarfon National Slate Museum showcases an impressive assortment of artefacts and historical information related to this topic.
