Loose covers, fitted fabric dressing slipped over a chair, go back at least to the eighteenth century, when households covered good upholstery in linen or cotton to guard it from sun and dust. The habit lingered longest in country houses, where dining chairs in soft, skirted covers became a look of their own.
Each chair has a tall back that curves gently at the top, and a deep seat, both padded with dense foam over a solid wood frame braced by reinforced stretchers. A tailored cover runs all the way to the floor in a skirt, hiding the legs; marks can be spot cleaned, which makes these chairs a good choice for a busy household. The fabric is a hard-wearing polyester slub weave, a cloth with small irregular thickenings in the yarn that give it a lightly rustic surface, here in a choice of plain shades and windowpane checks. Each chair is rated to 300 lbs, and some assembly is needed.
Place the pair at either end of a farmhouse table in a kitchen with a stone floor, or at a round table in a breakfast nook where everyone lingers over coffee. They also make soft accent chairs in a bedroom or beside a hall table. Every shade is easy to live with: pair it with dark wood, aged brass, cream ironstone, a wool plaid throw and a big bowl of pears for a relaxed English country-house look. This listing is for a set of two chairs.
