Today, I’m pleased to offer a solid wood, exquisitely curved and carved Captain’s Chair with interwoven rattan cushioning detail. The continuous semi-circular sweep of upper frame terminates in curlicue grips. The rattan backrest cushion on this piece is framed with wicker strip piping. The reverse side of the chair back is paneled with dark wood, also framed with wicker strip piping. This is one of 2 splendid chairs that I’m putting up for auction this week. Please see my other listings for details on the equally lovely wicker armchair. Please email me for more photographs if you’d like to see the piece in greater detail.
Actual dimensions on the chair are; floor to centre top of seat back 85cm, edge to edge on handgrips the piece is 70cm wide, floor to top of seat cushion measures 45cm, and the seat cushion is 41cm deep by 53cm at its widest point.
The interwoven rattan is in perfect condition, and this chair is every bit as comfortable as it is visually appealing.
There is one small area of wear on the upper left hand corner (facing the chair) of the wicker piping, roughly 2-3cm in size.
The dimensions and weight of this piece will probably make normal postage impractical, but I can explore this further if requested. If the buyer lives within reasonable driving distance from Durban, I will be happy to deliver for a nominal fee, to be agreed at conclusion of sale with the winning bidder. If the buyer lives beyond these environs, they will have to make their own arrangements for collection. I will assist by packing/wrapping the item, and being available for the collection thereof.
