Arts & Crafts Ernest Gimson Chair with White Willow Seat

  • Designed by Ernest Gimson for Bedale school, the elegant simplicity of this chair, now known as the Bedale chair, lends itself beautifully to a finely woven natural white willow seat. Willow weaving this chair pays homage to one of Gimson's most iconic pieces of furniture that is displayed at the Cheltenham Museum. In this centenary year of Gimson's death, a special exhibition 'Ernest Gimson: Observation, Imagination and Making' will take place between 23rd November - 25th February 2020 at the museum. This particular chair was made in the Gordon Russell workshop and has been bought back to life through my weaving a new natural white willow seat. Both functional and beautiful, this chair feels perfectly at home in a traditional or more rustic modern setting. A stand alone piece or forming part of a collection, this chair celebrates one of the leaders of the Arts & Crafts movement. Price on application.
