About the Item

Step back in time to the adventurous era of the Victorian age with these exquisite folding steamer chairs - slightly different size, crafted from solid walnut and adorned with woven cane. These chairs, reminiscent of the grand voyages undertaken by the elite of Victorian society, served as elegant companions for the wealthy as they traversed the vast oceans in pursuit of adventure and discovery during the 1800s. Imagine the scenes of opulence and leisure on the decks of majestic steamships, where these chairs provided a sanctuary for relaxation amidst the exhilarating journey. From the bustling ports of London to the exotic shores of distant lands, Victorian adventurers reclined in comfort, regaling each other with tales of daring exploration and cultural encounters. Each foldable steamer chair bears the mark of exceptional craftsmanship, reflecting the Victorian era's penchant for both luxury and practicality. The solid walnut frame exudes richness and durability, while the intricately woven cane provides a touch of elegance and a nod to the exotic locales visited by its esteemed occupants. As symbols of a bygone era of exploration and refinement, these folding steamer chairs not only evoke the spirit of Victorian adventure but also serve as exquisite reminders of a time when the world was vast and filled with untold wonders waiting to be discovered. Great condition throughout with signs of age and use through light scuffs, historic repairs, discolouration/fading in parts. Cushions optional and can be purchased separately.
