We’ve just finished reupholstering this beautiful chair for one of our repeat customers. It’s not easy to date, but our guess would be around the 1920s. The chair is solid and weighty, fitted with Shepherd casters—a sign of quality furniture from its time.
The style could be described as a tub chair, with a graceful arched back. It doesn’t have buttoning in the backrest now, though it may have originally been designed with a button back.
Our customer supplied the fabric, and we have to say—it’s a bold and brilliant choice! The material feels like a heavy cotton blend with a loose weave, finished in a stunning printed design we’ve never come across before. It’s unique, striking, and works beautifully on this classic piece.
