Know before you buy
The chair is constructed from sustainably-harvested Cape Lilac Mahogany, chosen for its durability and rich aesthetic.
No, the chair features a removable drop-in linen cushion, which makes it easy to clean or replace if you decide to reupholster it.
Yes, the chair is designed to accommodate custom upholstery. You will need to provide between 1 and 1.5 yards of fabric to recover the drop-in cushion.
To maintain the rattan, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, as these can cause the natural fibers to become brittle over time.
The hand-cast bronze accents serve as both decorative elements and functional hardware, specifically acting as sabots on the feet and caps on the arms to protect the wood.
With a height of 34 inches, the Edward Chair is well-suited for standard dining tables. We recommend measuring your table clearance to ensure the arm height aligns with your specific setup.
