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.

Made from beech, this chair has its original metal "spring bed" seat which has been traditionally re-upholstered and covered in a blue and gold fabric. The curved back is newly re-caned. Suit age 5 to about 11 years, although a small adult will find it very comfortable!

 

 

Edwardian "Sheraton Revival" Lady's Chair - £175.00

 

Mahogany frame with beautifully turned legs and stretchers, this chair dates from the early part of the 20th century. The top rail is inlaid with boxwood banding and a central motif of ebony, satinwood and box. Even the seat rail has boxwood banding. Reupholstered traditionally and re-covered in a good quality gold satin fabric. 

A Rare Pair of Wavy Stick Back Low Ebonised Chairs with Cane Seats - Liberty & Co Catalogue 1890 - £695.00

 

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, especially at this price!

For the serious collector.
