FAQs

Orkney chairs originated in the remote Scottish islands, traditionally crafted by local basket weavers using oat straw and driftwood to protect inhabitants from cold drafts.

Authentic pieces typically feature a wooden frame constructed from oak or beech, combined with tightly woven oat straw backs and rush-woven seats.

Verification involves inspecting the hand-stitched straw work, examining the construction methods of the wooden frame for period-appropriate joinery, and looking for maker marks or retailer stamps such as Liberty & Co.

This textured seating piece works effectively as a statement armchair in a neutral living space, pairing well with minimalist modern furniture to highlight its organic materials and craftsmanship.

Preservation requires keeping the chair away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the straw from becoming brittle, and gently dusting the woven sections with a soft brush.
