About the Item
Pair of Arts and Crafts Ladderback Chairs with Rush Seats English 19th Century Design
This pair of English Arts and Crafts ladderback chairs, dating from the late 19th century, beautifully reflects the values of the Arts and Crafts movement. Crafted from native ash and beech — traditional woods chosen for their strength, workability, and lighter weight — these chairs feature slender turned supports, shaped ladderback slats, and charming rush seats. Each chair weighs approximately 4.6 kg, making them easy to position while offering robust construction and lasting integrity.
The Arts and Crafts movement, led by figures such as William Morris, emerged in response to industrial mass production, celebrating handcraft traditions rooted in medieval, folk, and rural design. The clean lines and rustic materials of these chairs align with that ethos. Influences can be traced to craftsmen like Philip Clissett, whose handmade ladderback chairs inspired designers including Ernest Gimson and the Barnsley brothers.
These versatile chairs suit a wide range of interiors — from period settings to contemporary spaces that appreciate clean, unfussy lines and natural materials. Their honest construction adds warmth, history, and artisanal charm to any room.
