shapely and comfortable armchair. Rich mahogany colouring

A
Rare Pair of Wavy Stick Back Low Ebonised Chairs with
Cane Seats - Liberty & Co Catalogue 1890 - £350.00
the pair
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.
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. |
