Victorian period Glastonbury style chairs

The Glastonbury chair is an Arts and Crafts style chair that was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and was produced by the Glastonbury Chair Company in England. The chair is characterized by its simple, clean lines and functional design, with a sloping back and gently curving arms. The back and arms are often made of woven cane or splint, and the frame is typically constructed from sturdy hardwoods such as oak or elm. Mackintosh designed the Glastonbury chair in the late 19th century as part of his efforts to promote the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to revive traditional craftsmanship and reject the mass-produced goods of the industrial revolution. The Glastonbury chair became one of Mackintosh's most iconic designs and is still popular today among those who appreciate the Arts and Crafts style. .
