FAQs

Originating in the Orkney Islands of Scotland, these chairs were historically crafted by local woodworkers and crofters due to a scarcity of timber. The distinctive woven straw back was engineered to shield the occupant from cold draughts in peat-heated homes.

Traditional Orkney chairs feature a hardwood frametypically oak, pine, or driftwoodpaired with a backrest woven from oat straw bound with hemp or marram grass, and a rush or timber seat.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-stitched straw weaving, original joint construction techniques, natural patination on the timber frame, and irregularities inherent to handmade folk art.

An Orkney chair functions well as a textural accent piece in rustic, highland, or eclectic interior schemes, pairing effectively with natural wool textiles and understated wooden furniture.

Preservation requires keeping the chair in a stable climate away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent the straw from drying out or developing mould, alongside gentle dusting with a soft brush.
