Arts and Crafts Chair
Blendworth Alder Fabric
This beautiful chair is from the Arts and Crafts movement from the 19th-century. The style was extremely decorative with exquisite print, woodwork and metal work. The shaped wooden spindles are a classic feature from the Arts and Crafts movement.
The chair and footstool have been covered in Alder Hillside fabric by Blendworth. Inspired by ‘Buckingham Tapestries’. The design is laid out in the format of an original tapestry hanging and printed onto a heavy textured linen to create the impression a real tapestry cloth. Named after the Alder tree which is native to Britain and improves the fertility of the soil where ever it goes. Folk law states that the green dye from its flowers were used to dye the clothes of Robin Hood.
