{"product_id":"19th-century-vernacular-arts-and-crafts-style-elm-armchair","title":"19th Century Vernacular Arts and Crafts Style Elm Armchair","description":"\u003cp\u003eA late 19th century vernacular elm armchair of honest country construction, likely made using locally sourced timber. The form is simple and slightly uneven, with subtle irregularities that speak to hand tools and small workshop or rural origin rather than factory production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chair features a well-executed hand woven string seat, an unusual survival that adds both texture and visual interest. The frame shows good age and use, with historic repairs that have settled in well and contribute to its character without affecting structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is formed with turned spindle supports and simple carved detailing, while the arms are notably slender and gently shaped, giving the chair a lighter feel than many comparable country examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistically it sits comfortably alongside the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement, with its emphasis on honest materials and visible craftsmanship, while retaining a more primitive vernacular edge. There are hints of regional work—often associated with Sussex and surrounding areas—though this remains an informed attribution rather than a documented origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA genuine, usable piece with strong decorative appeal and a good sense of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 80cm\u003cbr\u003eWidth 56cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth 49cm\u003cbr\u003eSeat height 40cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the size and weight shipping will be by special courier and will require a degree of communication\/flexibility.\u003cbr\u003eCollection from our East Cheshire Studio Welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"InglewoodDesign","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56223786402171,"sku":null,"price":385.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3958\/3159\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_e9d7d6e9-d721-468d-8cd8-a04223d4b915.jpg?v=1777322843","url":"https:\/\/inglewooddesign.co.uk\/products\/19th-century-vernacular-arts-and-crafts-style-elm-armchair","provider":"InglewoodDesign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
