Tall ladder-back with finely carved pierced crest rail
Characteristic Liberty design inspired by medieval and vernacular English furniture

Craftsmanship & Detail

The chair is constructed in solid oak, featuring a tall ladder-back with finely carved pierced crest rail characteristic of Liberty's in-house designs inspired by medieval and vernacular English furniture. The turned front legs, chamfered rear supports, and shaped stretcher base provide both visual balance and structural integrity -the honest material and structural clarity that define the finest Arts & Crafts furniture at its most accomplished. The traditional floral needlework seat complements the warmth of the oak frame beautifully, remaining entirely sympathetic to the period aesthetic. A statement occasional piece, desk chair, or anchor piece within a broader Arts & Crafts or period interior.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
