Item Details

An attractive 19th Century Irish hedge chair with traces of historic paint. Good Irish hedge chairs are increasingly hard to find. Once considered by some to be the poor relations of their Welsh stick chair cousins, hedge chairs are now been being reconsidered and recognised for their unique history and beauty. For us Irish hedge chairs show the very best properties of primitive or vernacular chairs, they’re uniquely shaped, humble in origin, honest and beautifully perfect in their imperfection. They exhibit evidence of the trees they were made from, the people who made them and the long history of people who sat on and cherished them. They represent a kind of freedom of spirit and rebellion again conformity. We could bang on forever about hedge chairs and what they mean and probably will in another post soon. They’re good news though.
