David Kirkness Orkney Childs Chair

1900 - 1920

Sold by Sinclairs Antiques and Interiors

Description

A charming and rare Edwardian child’s Orkney chair with a beautifully grained oak frame in a warm, honeyed tone. The hand-woven straw back is in superb condition, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship that defines Orkney furniture. Its drop-in rattan seat is equally pristine, offering both comfort and authenticity. The chair features two shaped arms with the classic Kirkness-style curve, supported by simple uprights. It stands on square tapering legs united by square stretchers, giving it a sturdy yet elegant silhouette. This decorative little chair is not only a delightful piece of Scottish heritage but will also make a striking accent in any home—whether placed in a hallway, bedroom, or as part of a curated collection.
