Arts & Crafts Chairs

These two beautiful chairs arrived this week, I love them. They are both typical of the Arts & Crafts Movement, practical and yet pretty to look at. The first one is a simple Philip Clissett type with a tall, fine ladder back...


The second is a sweet child sized chair typical of designs made for Liberty of London at the turn of the 20th century...

It's hard to believe that these chairs are over 100 years old, they just look so modern! So far they have been re-glued ready to be re-rushed next week. I'm looking forward to it, they will be such a pleasure to work on . Meanwhile I'll have to find time to work on the other chairs that turned up this week - six more Wegner Danish dining chairs!
