A matching pair of classic pine Orkney chairs, c 1890s. It is very rare to find an original pair: a hooded gentleman's version with its matching ladies' chair. Original stained pine frames with carved detail to the arms, straw back rest / hood (oat grass sewn with bent grass) and a woven removable rush seat. These chairs are unusual in that they have a decorative line carved in the frame, and the rush is attached to the frame using pins instead of the usual stitching. Both are in good original condition, some historic repairs to the arm of the ladies chair.

A true design classic, the Orkney chair with it’s distinctive straw back was one of the icons of the Arts and Crafts movement. Produced in the workshops of the Orkney Islands (Scotland), they were retailed by Liberty & Co.

Note that these chairs are reserved for a photo shoot and are not available for delivery until after w/c 5th December 2016.

Dimensions: Hooded: H140, W54, D54, Ladies: H84cm, W54cm, D54cm Note Price does not include delivery. Please contact us for a delivery quotation.
