About the Item
A Scottish Orkney Island canopy chair from the mid 20th century with handwoven straw hooded back, rush seat, open serpentine arms, tapered legs and side stretchers. A charming Scottish Orkney Island canopy chair from the mid-20th century, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with a touch of rustic allure. Created in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, known for their unique furniture designs, this chair features a handwoven straw hooded back, serving both a functional and decorative role. The hood, designed to shield from the chilly drafts of northern Scotland, creates an intimate and cozy seating experience, while also providing a visually intriguing element. Below, the open serpentine arms are both inviting and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the overall form of the chair. A comfortable rush seat complements the straw back, offering a harmonious blend of textures that contribute to the chair's unique character. The piece stands on four subtly tapered legs, connected by side stretchers, offering stability and an additional layer of design depth. This mid-century Orkney Island canopy chair, with its organic materials and charming form, would make a captivating addition to any interior, from a traditional living room to a modern eclectic bedroom, adding a distinct touch of Scottish heritage and artisanal charm.
