Limited Edition 1950's Lounge Armchair by H Vaughan of London

About the Item

Lounge chair Absolutely stunning lounge armchair dated circa 1950. Designed, manufactured, stamped and distributed by H. Vaughan of Spital Fields, London, UK. History Shoreditch and Bethnal Green were traditionally the centre of the furniture and cabinet making trade in the East End and this is where H Vaughan started at the beginning of the last century. Yet even before this there was Edward Vaughan, Cabinet Maker, born in 1857 and before that Henry Vaughan, Cabinet Maker & Wholesale Furniture Manufacturer, born in 1818. Behind them were generations of Silk Dressers and Fan Makers, for this is a Huguenot family that has prospered in London by pursuing an artisan tradition through the centuries until the present day. As the last sawdust settled upon H Vaughan Ltd, Jim Vaughan sat in his office and told me his story while his brother Hales listened from the next room, popping in to deliver an intermittent commentary, and I could not escape the realisation that I was hearing the poignant epilogue to five generations of furniture makers and the end of this particular industry in the East End. The chair has been stripped and the frame restored as required. The frame is hand crafted in solid beech and elm. The padding, lining, springs, foam and calico have all been replaced. Finally, we have handpicked an elegant lime green coloured silk and cotton velvet fabric to give the chair a fabulous vintage, mid-century vibe. This is a one off chair in this colour way by the Rare Chair Company. It is comfortable with an iconic design and shape. Generous proportions with the chair measuring... Measures: 88 cm wide 82 cm deep 83 cm high 44 cm seat height Treat yourself to this one-off bespoke chair with delivery to the UK and worldwide (request a quote for any worldwide deliveries).
