| Shaker Chairs - Rocking Chair & Side
Chair
The timeless beauty of a Shaker chair
is just as appropriate for today’s modern interiors as it is for
traditional surroundings. Whether a classical rocking chair, armchair
or side chair, the pure graceful form and exquisite dimensioning confers
an almost chameleon ability to grace any room. In addition, the choice
of timbers and seating tape
colours, I offer, give you
even more scope and endless opportunities to demonstrate your own
artistic flair and creative talent. All my chairs are made to order
using methods that differ little from those used by the Shakers
themselves.
It’s possible that I’m even less mechanized than they were; choosing,
shaping or bending each separate piece of wood by hand as I do. Time
spent here gives you the opportunity to become involved and discuss
different options with me. If you can find time to visit my workshop, I
can even make your chair “made to measure”. That’s truly bespoke
furniture.
Shaker Tape
You can
have your chair seats woven from any of the
colours
in this chart,
or from a combination of any two, to form a
chequer-board
pattern. The chair seats are woven in exactly the same way above and
below the seat rails forming a double layer. A soft stuffed cushion is
then placed between the layers for extra comfort. This has the added
benefit of distributing weight, making a much stronger and long lasting
seating arrangement. Most tapes are available in 5/8 inch or 1 inch
widths. All options are included in the price and choices can be best
discussed when ordering. View the chart here.

Shaker
Table
 These
small tables or candle-stands, as the Shakers called them, are
reproduced in oak, walnut or cherry. This stunning little table was
first produced at Mount Lebanon as early as 1800, however only a handful
have actually been found. This table for me is iconic; I can not think
of any other design piece, in any genre that is so truly timeless,
equally at home in any setting.
Pedestal Table in oak: 775€. Top 16
inches (405mm) diameter, 26 inches (650mm) high.
Shipping rates for larger items are difficult to estimate
for different destinations, so we are unable to offer the chairs or
table for sale through our shopping trolley. Please use the form below
