Description

Antique horse shoe chair | Anastasia

A stunning antique wooden horse shoe chair. This primitive bent wood chair, originally crafted in rural Shanxi China, dates from the 19th century and is over 125 years old. They were made for and used by professors at schools and universities.

This beautiful wooden chair has been smoothed with the passage of time. With its exquisite patina, it has been stripped of finish quite naturally over time and has a lovely sun-bleached appearance.

The top horseshoe-shaped bentwood rail is made from one single piece of steam-bent willow or possibly poplar.  The seat is made from elm.  The top rail is supported by two simple vertical supports.

This beautiful, entirely hand-crafted chair is incredibly rare and collectable and we love this one particularly for its pared-back aesthetic.

These chairs are usually ornately decorated and have black paint on their surfaces. However, this one is beautifully simple and pared back, perfect as a feature for a minimalist or rustic home.

Courier Delivery

Delivery will take place via door-to-door courier because this item is too large and heavy, long or fragile to be delivered in a parcel by any of the UK parcel providers.

This service is undertaken by a one man delivery service.

Please therefore be prepared to help to move this heavy item from the van or lorry to just inside your door. When delivery takes place it will be to just inside the threshold of your home only.

The courier will not be able to carry the furniture up or down steps to access your property.

You will also need to supply a strong helper to assist on the day of delivery as removing this from the lorry is a job for two extremely strong people.

After the courier has left you will need to remove the item from its packaging when present and carry it from your doorway into your home or garden.

Delivery is added at the checkout – you will be able to view this charge before you pay.

Please note – our Marlow showroom does not contain our full inventory and therefore some items are not displayed in-store.
