Bobbin Correctional Chair, British, c. 1880
About the Item
A beautifully ornate and very charming Victorian correctional chair.
Correctional chairs were originally conceived by 18th century surgeon and anatomist, Sir Astley Paston Cooper, to correct the posture of slouching children. The shallow seat and high back, with horizontal posts added at calculated intervals force a child to sit ‘correctly’.
century and of British origin, what makes this small child’s chair so beautiful is the patina of the dark beech wood, and the wonderful turner details on the back and legs. The vertical posts of the chair arch slightly outwards, at the base, a further detail not usually seen on such utilitarian and puritanical piece.
The seat consists of its original caning, which we have carefully restored to a stronger condition.
The seat would make a wonderful stand for a sculpture or could function as a focal point in its own right.

View AllBlack Leather Hammock Chair, Mogens Voltelen, circa 1930
By Mogens Voltelen
Located in London, GB
The interplay of straight and curved lines within the chair’s design is very visually satisfying. The rhythm of lines is evident not only in the mahogany wood frame but within the leather too. The seat and back having a hammock construction mean the leather is allowed to bow naturally.
The continuous curve that the back legs are carved into and the apron (wooden rail across the front) at the front of the chair both echo the exact arc of the leather hammock...
