Unlike conventional Edwardian armchairs of the period, the design relies on line, structure, and negative space rather than carved ornament, giving the chair an unusually refined and almost progressive appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1981\"\u003eThe lattice sections are individually applied and secured with visible brass dome-head fixings, allowing the construction itself to become part of the visual language of the chair — a detail strongly associated with Arts \u0026amp; Crafts principles of honesty in craftsmanship and exposed construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003eViewed from the rear or three-quarter angle, the chair possesses a sculptural quality rarely found in English bentwood furniture of the period. The curved hoop frame softens the geometric lattice while the open structure prevents the chair from appearing visually heavy within a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2639\"\u003eThe low outwardly swept arms create a relaxed seating posture more commonly associated with later modern furniture, while the hand-caned seat introduces warmth, texture, and visual lightness. The combination of bentwood construction, pierced detailing, and restrained proportion gives the chair a character that feels both distinctly Edwardian and surprisingly timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2641\" data-end=\"2868\"\u003eRetaining its original Jas Shoolbred \u0026amp; Co. retailer’s label for Tottenham Court Road, London W.1, the chair survives as an increasingly scarce example of transitional English decorative arts furniture dating to circa 1900–1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"3097\"\u003eA highly collectable Edwardian occasional chair suited to Arts \u0026amp; Crafts interiors, layered contemporary spaces, libraries, bedrooms, or design-led interiors seeking sculptural antique seating with strong architectural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3099\" data-end=\"3102\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"7q4hfq\" data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3117\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3119\" data-end=\"3161\"\u003eHeight:\u003cbr data-start=\"3126\" data-end=\"3129\"\u003eWidth:\u003cbr data-start=\"3135\" data-end=\"3138\"\u003eDepth:\u003cbr data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3147\"\u003eSeat Height:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3166\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"10kmwe5\" data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3180\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3182\" data-end=\"3338\"\u003eBentwood beech\u003cbr data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3199\"\u003eHand-caned seat\u003cbr data-start=\"3214\" data-end=\"3217\"\u003ePierced flat lattice back sections\u003cbr data-start=\"3251\" data-end=\"3254\"\u003eTurned and block supports\u003cbr data-start=\"3279\" data-end=\"3282\"\u003eBrass dome-head fixings\u003cbr data-start=\"3305\" data-end=\"3308\"\u003eDark stained polished finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3340\" data-end=\"3343\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"hrykuu\" data-start=\"3345\" data-end=\"3357\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3359\" data-end=\"3612\"\u003ePresented in good antique condition with age-related surface wear, patina, and minor historic marks consistent with age and use.
