Sleigh Chair in Cherry with Willow Bough Pure 35" W, 39" H, 35" Deep Seat: 24" x 22"

The Sleigh Chair in Cherry

Classic Comfort Wrapped in Arts & Crafts Elegance

The Sleigh Chair is a masterwork of curves and comfort, designed to be the most sought-after seat in the house. This specific rendition pairs the warm, glowing character of solid American Cherry with the iconic "Willow Bough Pure" textile by William Morris. It is a piece that honors the heritage of the Arts & Crafts movement while providing a luxurious, modern lounging experience.

Artistry & Material Harmony

The silhouette of the Sleigh Chair is defined by its dramatic, hand-carved volute scrolls on the arms and its inviting, high-back profile.

• Solid Cherry Frame: Known for its smooth grain and ability to develop a deep, reddish-brown patina over time, the Cherry wood is finished to a silken luster that highlights the hand-shaped joinery.

• Willow Bough Pure Upholstery: The delicate, intertwining leaf pattern of William Morris’s classic design brings a sense of the outdoors inside. In this "Pure" palette, the pattern offers a sophisticated, neutral texture that complements the warmth of the wood without overwhelming the room.

• The Hand-Carved Rail: Look closely at the base to find a hand-carved "beaded" detail along the front rail, a subtle hallmark of the maker's dedication to every square inch of the piece.

Uncompromising Inner Construction

True luxury lies beneath the fabric. This chair is built using heritage techniques that have disappeared from modern mass-production, ensuring it remains as comfortable in fifty years as it is today.

• The Foundation: A solid hardwood mortise and tenon frame, providing a rock-solid skeleton that will never wobble or creak.

• The Seat: Traditional hand-tied steel coil springs. This "eight-way hand-tied" method is the gold standard of upholstery, offering independent support that contours to your body.

• The Back: Integrated steel zig-zag springs provide a supportive yet springy loft to the backrest, perfect for long afternoons of reading.

• Tailored Finishing: Expertly finished with double welting around the scrolled arms and across the front rail, with a clean single welting tracing the elegant curve of the top back.
