Pair of Vintage Lloyd Loom Chairs
This lot comprises two vintage Lloyd Loom chairs, offered for restoration. Each chair has a deep, rounded tub-style back and sweeping open arms, with the woven body finished in a cream to buff tone. The arms are edged with a braided rolled detail, and the chairs stand on slender, painted legs. Each seat is fitted with a loose upholstered cushion covered in a brown fabric. The underside of the seat base shows black metal rails and coil springs set into a herringbone-patterned webbing, which gives an indication of the original construction. Lloyd Loom furniture is recognised for its distinctive woven finish and traditional form, and these chairs reflect the classic style associated with the maker.
Condition and Originality
The chairs are presented in used condition and are sold as found. The woven surfaces show general wear, and there are several areas on the backs where the finish has flaked away, exposing darker material beneath. The painted legs show signs of wear, and the brown seat cushions appear worn and soiled. The springs and metal rails within the seat bases are visible and show some rust and dirt. No repairs or replacements have been identified, and the chairs have not been tested. Their original woven structure and shape remain largely intact, which makes them a suitable project for a buyer who wishes to restore vintage Lloyd Loom seating. Collectors and buyers interested in period woven furniture may value the pair as a restoration opportunity.
