Details

Early officers’ demountable campaign chair from the Boer War era, designed to be taken on campaign and assembled under canvas in the officers’ headquarters. A reference point for the later mid-century safari chair typology adopted by Danish, European and Australian designers.

This example was originally supplied with canvas covers and leather arm straps. The pictured brand-new covers were commissioned from a master saddle maker and are crafted from natural, undyed leather conditioned with mink oil saddle-making conditioner; the leather will age and darken to a rich tan. The timber frame—described by the seller as either mahogany or hickory—has been freshly oiled and waxed.

Included for provenance are the original canvas covers and leather arm straps.
