"Set of 4 1930s English Elm Tub Chairs by G T Harris Ltd – Rare Arts & Crafts"
---
This set of 1930s elm tub chairs showcases the finest in English craftsmanship, made by renowned cabinet makers G T Harris Ltd of Northampton. Known for producing high-quality Arts and Crafts furniture during the 1920s and 1930s, these solid and well-constructed chairs are a testament to the skill of English carpenters who worked with elm—a now scarce material in England due to Dutch elm disease. The durability and charm of these elm chairs make them an exceptional addition to any interior, offering a rare piece of English design history.
What makes these chairs truly special is the use of elm, a wood cherished for its distinctive grain and strength but now difficult to find. Working with elm required a deep understanding of woodcraft, as the timber’s interlocking grain made it challenging to shape and join. The craftsmanship of G T Harris Ltd is evident in the elegant curvature of the tub design, the carry handles and the solid build that has withstood the test of time. This set of four chairs offers both comfort and timeless appeal, making them a valuable find for those who appreciate authentic, well-made furniture.
For buyers looking to seamlessly blend these vintage pieces into a modern interior, the addition of custom cushions for the seat and back could be a perfect solution. Choosing fabric and upholstery that complements contemporary color schemes allows these chairs to merge effortlessly into modern design. We can also provide these custom cushions, made to order for an additional cost, allowing the customer to achieve their ideal look and comfort. Whether as they are or with updated soft furnishings, these chairs will bring history, craftsmanship, and versatility to any space, making them not only a collector's item but a functional and stylish choice for today’s interiors.
