A British colonial design arm chair in the plantation style.
This beautifully carved Colonial reproduction chair is typical of the furniture produced on the east coast of Africa during British colonisation. With its sturdy hardwood base, it is hard wearing and practical, yet classic and elegant. The furniture in Britain was as impractical and uncomfortable as it was ostentatious during the late 1800s and early 1900s, the period late Victorian furniture and Edwardian furniture. However, British colonial craftsmen, inspired by their African surroundings, were able to combine the exotic with the functional and came up with fantastic furniture designs that are suitable for any modern home. The claw and ball feet provide a strong foundation, with the zebra print cushion providing colour and comfort.
This chair can provide character to any given room, as well as a little colour. The zebra print cushion provides a stark contrast to the deep brown shade of the actual wood, which makes it incredibly appealing to the eye of the beholder. It is also strong enough to last for years to come. When paired with a hardwood Colonial desk, this item can dominate a room as well as provide a comfortable office environment to work in. If you are indeed looking to add a touch of class as a result of years gone by, then you may just have found the perfect item!
