Decorative Early 20th-Century Arts & Crafts Wicker Rattan Armchair by Dryad & Co

Why We Love This … This very decorative early 20th-century Arts & Crafts wicker and rattan armchair, attributed to Dryad & Co., perfectly captures the spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement.   Showcasing the organic elegance and craftsmanship of the period -simple, honest materials shaped into a form that feels both natural and refined - the result is a beautiful, sculptural and highly tactile, chair with a wonderfully fluid silhouette.  The curved armrests that sweep seamlessly into the backrest create a graceful, almost architectural line, while the wicker and rattan construction adds warmth and texture. It has presence without heaviness, and charm without fuss.
