An early 20th Century Arts & Crafts revival chip-carved chair, based on the vernacular crofter’s chair from Caithness. With its origins in the characterful low crofters’ chairs, traditionally made from wind-bent boughs from the Caithness coast, this fancier descendent is likely to have come from the McIvor and Allan woodchip carvers based in Casteltown, Caithness, in operation during the first half of the 20th Century. In place of the crude charisma of the original crofters’ chairs, the decorative chip-carving lends this stained oak example an intriguing refinement. Such carved chairs were popular during the Arts & Crafts revival period, with McIvor and Allan dispatching chairs around Scotland and beyond. A beautiful example that shows the gentle wear of over a century of love and use. 

Height 82cm, depth 44cm. Seat height 47cm, seat width 38cm.
