C. R. Ashbee for the Guild of Handicraft. A Rare Arts & Crafts Oak Armchair
POA
C. R. Ashbee for The Guild of Handicraft
A rare Arts and Crafts oak armchair with larger proportions than usual. The shaped back makes this armchair ergonomically perfect and rather comfortable, I must say. With subtle details to the feet.
