Know before you buy
The chair is crafted from Cape Lilac Mahogany, which is finished with a clear lacquer over a cerused black stain to emphasize the natural grain of the wood.
The hand-tied caning provides a slight, flexible give that contours to your back, offering more support and breathability than a solid wood backrest.
With a seat height of 18 1/2 inches, the Edward Chair is designed to fit perfectly under standard dining tables, which typically range from 28 to 30 inches in height.
The hand-cast brass sabots on the feet and the armcaps serve as both decorative elements and protective features, adding weight and durability to the chair's high-wear points.
The Edward Chair has a compact footprint with a width of 21 inches and a depth of 23 1/2 inches, making it an excellent choice for smaller dining rooms or urban lofts where space is at a premium.
The Edward Chair arrives fully assembled and ready for use, ensuring the structural integrity of the hand-tied caning and brass detailing remains intact.
