Red Elm Irish Armchair: Available Now

from $1,200.00

This Irish armchair featured, available now, is made for lounging for long periods. It has a sweeping back rest, saddled seat, and generous lean back of 25 degrees.

The chair is made from red elm with hickory wedges, a perfect combination for chairmaking. The wood is strong, lightweight and has a difficult interlocked grain that prevents the parts from splitting.

The sticks and legs are double tapered with hand planes and left octagonal. The arms are heavily rounded by rasps and edge tools, and the tenons are cut slightly proud and burnished. These features are enjoyable to interact with.

Crafted from solid wood, with traditional hand tools and mortise and tenon joinery. All the chair’s joints are assembled with animal glue, which is reversible, and wedged.

Items are made by hand and therefore minor differences may occur. This is part of the beauty of handmade work; no two pieces will be exactly the same.

The red elm chair featured in the photos is available now. Or, the chair can be made to order in white oak, red oak, red elm, and ash.

Seat dimensions: 20” (w) x 16” (d) x 16” (h) 

Overall footprint: 26” (w) x 27” (d) x 30” (h)

While built to these dimensions, minor variations can occur due to the handmade nature. The seat height can be adjusted upon request when ordering.

Finished with non-toxic Soft Wax, a blend of beeswax and raw linseed oil, made by Lost Art Press. Or finished with your choice of linseed oil paint.

Free delivery within a 50 mile radius of Seattle. Shipping this chair typically costs $300-$450, depending on where you live. Significant savings can be made when ordering a group of chairs or adding on a stool. Shipping two chairs or adding on a stool costs the same to ship as one chair does.
