British Colonial Sunburst Mahogany Armchair (Discontinued)

Beneath fans of palm fronds, chairs like these sat across the expansive, tropical verandas of gin and tonic-drinking, late 19th century British colonial aristocracy. The eye is drawn toward the glamourous, pierced, sunburst center back splat, the carved, turned arm supports and the legs tapering to peg feet. Using a design drawn from the pattern books brought to India by the romantic wayfarers, these antique replicas are recreated in solid mahogany and finished in a shabby chic plantation egg-shell blue as perfectly timeless as its classic design. On a threeseason porch, beneath a covered portico or awning, a pair of these Design Toscano exclusive chairs creates an oasis for rest reminiscent of days gone by.
