Unusual Antique 19th Century Steel & Tweed Side Chair

About the Item

A very unusual antique steel framed side chair. With scrolled horn-type ends and turned painted wooden legs, it sits on brass and porcelain castors. Circa 1880. The chair has been reupholstered and entirely hand stitched over the steel frame in a luxury Scottish Tweed from Lovat Mill. The Ettrick range fabric is 100% wool, is renowned for its rich colour mixtures and firmly woven tightly twisted yarns. Photograph number 2 is a good colour match. The painted wood has been refinished in the same colour it was originally, and has been lightly distressed.

  • Pair of Aesthetic Movement Small Folding Chairs E.W Godwin Manner
    Located in Norwich, GB
    A pair of Aesthetic Movement small walnut low folding decorative chairs with cane seats, in the manner of E.W. Godwin. Circa 1870s. Free delivery to the UK via a selected parcel company. The walnut frames are in very good condition and have their original patina, showing some age with use, they have been lightly waxed. One of the chairs cane seats professionally re-caned, and it has been aged to resemble the other original cane seat. This same chair has had the under rail replaced in oak with two bolts, as shown in photograph number 12. This was done many years ago - I would say about 80 plus years, looking at the construction. Also added at a similar time under the seat, one small rail either side. The wooden dome...
