Georgian
Dining Chair - with a twist!
In
addition to his restoration work Nick can reproduce antique
designs to order. An example of his work is this reproduction
Georgian chair.
He adapted the design to increase the strength
of the seat frame by adding a brace that transferred the load
from the more vulnerable front legs to those at the back.
This saved the tenon joints which become stressed when the
chair is rocked onto its back legs. Not only did this improve
the chairs durability but added a certain delicate elegance. |
