The piece measures 113 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 48 cm deep. Position this armchair in a living room, hallway or study as a functional seating option that adds traditional character to an interior. The solid construction makes it suitable for regular daily use while providing a comfortable seat.

FAQs

Dust the timber regular with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.

Place the chair as a standalone accent piece in a reading corner, pair it with a contemporary desk, or position it alongside streamlined modern furniture to highlight the detailed grain and marquetry.

Authentic pieces feature traditional mortise and tenon joints, naturalistic or stylized floral motifs, solid timber construction, and proportions characteristic of the late Victorian to Edwardian era.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid native hardwoods such as oak, often featuring pewter, bone, or wood marquetry inlays paired with woven or printed fabric upholstery.

Arts and Crafts seating originated in the late nineteenth century, emphasising simple geometric forms, natural materials, and visible honest joinery over mass-produced ornamentation.
