HMS Victory oak chairs

When HMS Victory was refurbished, some of the old bits of wood were collected and sold.

The owner of some spectacular pieces commissioned us to make eight chairs with the panels displayed in the top. The panels were created by joining the fragments of Victory oak in a resin. Each panel also has an copper-filling inlay of Nelson's battle plan.

We developed our standard ladder back chair to have a higher, back so that even when being sat on, the Victory oak panels can be seen. We used bright red leather for the upholstery and 3000 year old bog oak for the detailing on the joints.
