Description

A Handsome Matched Pair of Original Anglo-Indian Teak and Cane Plantation Chairs, circa 1910–1920.

Crafted in solid teak with finely woven cane, these generous colonial lounge chairs offer wonderfully deep, curved seating and continuous original caning for exceptional comfort. Each chair features the classic extending, fold-out leg rests to each side, allowing you to fully recline and “put your feet up” in true planter style.

This is a fine quality early 20th-century model with peg joint construction, beautifully proportioned and superbly made. The robust teak frames are structurally excellent with no looseness, repairs or losses. One chair shows slightly lighter toning to the timber from greater sun exposure, adding authenticity and character; this could easily be re-finished to match more closely if desired. Seat height: 43 cm.

Original pairs of Anglo-Indian plantation chairs are increasingly hard to find, especially in such honest, well-preserved condition. Equally at home in a conservatory, on a covered terrace or as striking accent loungers indoors, these chairs are every bit as comfortable as they are stylish, a true statement pair for any interior.

Planters chairs originated during the British colonial period in tropical regions such as India and Southeast Asia, designed specifically to provide comfort and adequate airflow in hot climates.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from durable tropical hardwoods like teak or mahogany, featuring woven rattan or cane panels for the seat and backrest to ensure breathability.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit traditional joinery techniques, hand-woven cane work, and dense tropical timber with patination consistent with age and use.

Pair these characterful pieces with neutral linen upholstery, natural textures, and minimalist contemporary elements to create a balanced, worldly aesthetic.

Maintain the wood with occasional applications of natural oils, avoid placing the cane in direct sunlight or dry heat to prevent snapping, and clean gently with a soft, damp cloth.
