William Birch. Liberty & Co. A Arts and Crafts rush seat oak dining chair

Creator: William Birch Ltd.
Offered by: Puritan Values Ltd

Description
Depth: 17.72" || Creator: William Birch || William Birch. Liberty and Co retailer. A classic Arts and Crafts rush seat oak dining chair with a wide curved headrest and attractive wild grain. Ring turned legs with ring turned front stretchers. These timeless designs were unique to William Birch. A popular model of the day made in large numbers with many survivals. They were made in High Wycombe near London which in the late 19th Century was the center of the chair making industry in the U K. I do enjoy restoring these classic chairs, each chair is gently knocked apart, joints cleaned, glued, reassembled and clamped overnight then set aside for a few days while the glue fully cures.

They are then cleaned and waxed and sent off to my old-time rush seat specialist who lays new rush, ready for another three of four generations of use.
