Description

Immerse yourself in the elegance of a bygone era with this beautifully restored Victorian chair and footstool set, affectionately named “Arthur ‘n’ Arf an Arthur.” Originally a pair of chairs, one was damaged beyond repair. However, the stable seat and legs were transformed into the perfect matching footstool, “Arf ‘n’ Arthur,” complementing its grand counterpart, “Arthur.”

 

The name “Arthur ‘n’ Arf an Arthur” holds special meaning, a tribute to my adoptive father, Arthur, who was always busy repairing or restoring something in his home workshop. A tall, strong figure, Arthur sparked my passion for woodworking and restoration. With his imposing stature and my much smaller frame always by his side, the name “Arthur ‘n’ Arf an Arthur” felt like a natural fit for this chair and footstool set—honoring both his legacy and the craftsmanship that he passed on to me.

 

Upholstered in sage and wine plaid fabric, these pieces are a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Modern upholstery techniques were used to ensure that the set meets all current fire safety regulations, combining traditional aesthetics with contemporary safety standards. Crafted from decoratively carved mahogany, the frames are intricately hand-painted to harmonize with the rich tones of the fabric. The chair features four castor wheels for ease of movement, while the footstool remains stationary without castors. The edges are finished with genuine, hand-cut leather, enhancing the seamless integration of fabric and frame. Sophisticated and timeless, this set adds a touch of refined heritage to any room.

 

 

 

Endorsed by the respected Guild of Master Craftsmen, Stevenson & Soames provide exceptional artistry and quality. Enjoy the craftsmanship and comfort of this unique set, where historical charm seamlessly integrates with modern luxury.
