Set
of Four Nantucket/Boston "Windsor" Stick Back
Chairs- £750.00
A
magnificent set of Nantucket/American Stick or Fan Back
chairs - two "Nantucket" carver armchairs
and two "Boston" dining chairs probably made
in the late 19th/early 20th century. These are top quality
chairs of generous size. The seats are each made from
one piece of solid elm with parts of the chair top including
the carver arms made from yew. A rare find! Currently
American hand made copies cost from £400 per side
chair. Please e-mail for further details. |
An
Iberian hand made Pine Childs High Chair- SOLD
Mid
twentieth century pine chair with paper fibre rush seat.
Seat height is 19" with a width of 15" and
a depth of 14". Overall height of the back is 29".
Would be useful for children as the seat is at least
one inch higher than usual, but is equally useable and
strong enough for the average adult.

American
Walnut Arts and Crafts Chest of Drawers by Maple &
Co. Circa 1880 - £325.00

walnut chest with two short and three long drawers.

and useful piece of furniture. |
A
Rare Pair of Wavy Stick Back Low Ebonised Chairs with
Cane Seats - Liberty & Co Catalogue 1890
This
is an exceptional pair of top quality Arts & Crafts
Movement ebonised "His and hers" low chairs.
They are nursing chair height so possibly may have originally
been made for children. They are both in original unmolested
condition. The seats have been recaned by us and are
therefore perfect and good for another 40 years! No
replacement parts, loose joints or damage to the framework
of either the armchair or side chair.
This particular
design is a recognised Liberty retail line of the 1890's,
and has all of the "Arts and crafts" design
features advocated by the major designers of the time
- Ernest Gimson, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow
School. However what sets this pair apart is the fact
that they have canework seats - most of the rare examples
that do become available are invariably armchairs with
rush seats - these two may have been a special commission
- it is highly unusual to have a matching pair.
For the
serious collector. |
