Description

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

A handsome pair of well constructed, original Anglo Indian antique plantation chairs, circa 1910 to 1920, with strong teak frames and cane seats.

A fine quality plantation chair model with extending fold away arms, peg joint construction presented in mostly excellent condition.

It is rare to find an original matching pair, following the traditional early 20th century design and now highly popular and desirable patio or conservatory chairs, even for use internally, sun lounge chairs etc.

A robust teak frame, structurally excellent and without wobbles, repairs or loss. A matching pair whilst 1 has had more sunlight and/or element exposure and presents marginally more pale where sun has bleached the frame and stain/oil, easily returned to match the other while it also adds authenticity and character.

Both of the chairs are considered in very good condition. The more pale of the 2 has a tiny defect in a small area of cane at the front of its seat, please see photos and a little more timeworn patination but otherwise very good, stable chairs of excellent design.

A superbly stylish pair of plantation chairs with cane seats and fold away, extendable arms, the cane to allow cool air through from beneath the sitter and the extending arms for use as footrests and/or drinks etc..

Anglo-Indian plantation chairs originated during the British colonial period in India, specifically designed for comfort in tropical climates with deep seats, low profiles, and often extended armrests used as footrests.

Authentic plantation chairs are traditionally crafted from durable tropical hardwoods, most commonly solid teak or mahogany, featuring woven rattan or cane panels for ventilation.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, hand-woven cane work, and natural patina consistent with age and wear from the period.

These chairs function well as statement pieces in living rooms or sunrooms, paired with neutral textiles, natural fibres, and green foliage to accentuate their tropical heritage.

Preservation requires dusting with a soft brush, occasionally hydrating dry cane with a damp sponge to maintain elasticity, and keeping the wood nourished with appropriate wax or oil formulations.
