Why we love it

This chair takes its inspiration from a piece commissioned for King George VI's coronation, reimagined with a deeper back and extra padding for proper comfort. The orange velvet is finished with a black-and-white braid trim that gives it a distinctly modern edge, whilst carved hoof feet nod to its historical roots. It's the sort of chair that works beautifully at a dining table but has enough character to hold its own pulled up to a desk or beside a bedroom chair.

Description

In the year of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, we reimagined a rare antique designed for Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King George VI. The dipped seat pad has remained, but it's been given a modern makeover with a longer back panel and extra padding for added comfort. The characteristic carved hoof feet add charming detail that elevate the design from something simple to something more sophisticated. The natural grain of the wood will have individual characteristics from piece to piece. Our Dirty Orange velvet version has added contemporary details in the form of a black-and-white braid that sits around the edge of the seat.
