Chairs are a bit of a trade-mark for Ministry of Pine.
We often have over three hundred chairs in
stock, all original early chairs.
When a customer has come along and chosen their
chairs - they are taken from the chair room into the workshops,
completely knocked apart and re-glued, they then go
into the polishing shop, where they are lovingly polished and waxed over
a period of four or five days. The final step is to level them so that
they don't wobble.
We have sold thousands of chairs over the last sixteen years.
We can usually "make-up" a set for you from the four main styles that we
stock.

This Windsor chair is
commonly known as either a slat-back chair or a lath-back chair.
They usually have elm seats and ash splats and legs. They are a
strong design and the first chair that people think of when looking
for English Kitchen chairs. |

This
scroll-back chair is commonly known as a bar-back or Nelson-back
chair. They are a traditional Windsor design and have the bar across
the back for added support. |

This scroll-back chair is
very similar to the Nelson-back, and is commonly referred to as an
Oxford-back. The only real difference is in the design of the bar at
the back. There are hundreds of different turnings that you can get
either side of the flat bar.

This
chair is actually Swedish in origin, they are the most popular chair
that we restore - due largely to the size of the seat. The seats on
these are very strong. The way the spindles are set out along the
back makes it a really strong chair, one that most people can sit in
for hours. This particular one is an "Ibex" but you can get "Dinkos"
and "Almas"
too, where the turnings on the legs are slightly different.
A very popular choice. |
