The Ledbury armchair

A rush seated frame chair, originally designed by Ernest Gimson in 1906. One of the spindleback designs, featuring three delicately turned spindles, steam bent rails and legs, and a unique finial atop the back legs. It also features turned arm supports that pass through the woven rush seat. All parts are sawn and turned from green wood using traditional techniques.
