Settle Chair, Full Size
The full-size original chair can be seen in several Richard
Brown Photos of Tasha Tudor's fireplace. (Private World of Tasha Tudor p.107,
Tasha Tudor's Garden p.33)
This Reproduction chair has sides made of special, 15/16"
x 16" wide pine boards from trees grown on the Tudor property. Like the
original, it is 44" high, 22" wide, projects out 18" when back
top touches a wall, has 14" seat height and 13" seat depth. The open
space underneath is a favorite lair for Corgis, we have found. Some people like
a pillow on the low seat. Settle
Chair pillows sold separately.
If you are in the vicinity of Marlboro, Vermont you can
purchase and pick up a Settle Chair (please e-mail for availability and
appointment) at our office for $165.00 unfinished, $180.00 stained, and $200.00
painted.
Because its size exceeds shipping limits, the Settle Chair is
dismantled and packed in a 5"x18"x48" wooden box, for a shipping
and handling charge of $65.00 in the U.S. Please note that painted chairs do not
come apart well, and a freshly stained chair can not be shipped for a week or
two, because of regulations on volatile fumes in transit.
Re-assembly is easy, and requires #1 and #2 square drive
screwdrivers available in any hardware store. If you prefer, the screwdrivers
can be enclosed in shipping box for $4.00 each.
