Deconstructed Tufted Roll Arm Chair
$1295 - $1725 Special $905 - $1515
Inspired by the unadorned beauty of their grandfather's 19th-century wing chair – liberated from its velvet upholstery and the frame exposed – the Van Thiels replicated the Old World artistry in the Tufted Roll Arm Chair. Character belies comfort. A distressed walnut frame, accented with nailheads, is complemented by the texture of burlap with linen or cotton. This is furniture for the ages.
- Late 18th century, with a tufted back, scroll arms and turned front legs
- Built by hand with a kiln-dried, corner-blocked solid walnut frame
- Clad in linen or cotton dyed to lend an antiqued appearance, with deeply tufted seat cushion
- Two layers of burlap cover the back and the rail below the seat
- The walnut frame and legs are smoothly sanded and given a matte finish to look as they would before the final stain and polish; nicks, imperfections and natural variations in color are to be expected
- Wide jute strapping supports the 8-way hand-tied seat spring
- In sand Belgian Linen, Antiqued Linen or Antiqued Cotton; all are treated for stain-resistance
- Two front legs sit on non-locking casters
- Seat cushions are a down-blend fill; a thin foam core wrapped with 80% feathers and 20% down
