About the Item

Liberty & Co retailer, made by William Birch. The three are priced separately. A classic William Birch Arts & Crafts rush seat oak armchair with a wide curved head rest and typical ring turned legs with ring turned front stretchers. These were made in High Wycombe near London which in the late 19th Century was the center of the chair making industry in the UK. These timeless designs were unique to William Birch. A popular model of the day made in large numbers with many survivals that still keep turning up from time to time. I do enjoy restoring these classic chairs, each chair is gently knocked apart, joints cleaned, glued, reassembled, and clamped overnight then set aside for a few days while the glue fully cures. They are then cleaned and waxed and sent off to my old-time rush seat specialist who lays new rush. The armchair is priced at £1800 : Height 43.5inches Width 25inches Depth 19inches Side chairs are priced at £1450 each. Height 39inches Width 17inches Depth 16inches.
