The Anna Liffey Side Chair is a study in extraordinary finesse and architectural delicacy, meticulously handcrafted in our Bridgewater, Vermont workshop. Inspired by a chair discovered by Charles Shackleton years ago in his family’s flour mill in Ireland, this collection draws its name from that very mill situated on the River Liffey.

The design is defined by its intricate linear patterns and masterful hand-carved ornamentation:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Historic "Fork Back" Detail: The chair prominently features the signature "fork back" design found on the original Irish mill chair, providing a unique and storied silhouette.

• Delicate Fretwork Pattern: The collection is characterized by a delicate "x" that repeats in a linear pattern, creating a visual effect similar to a refined fretwork or frill.

• Artisanal Hand-Carving: Every chair is adorned with hand-carved beads on the backrest, marking this as our most refined and detail-oriented chair design.

• Sophisticated Proportions: Despite its enormous delicacy, the chair is engineered for lasting durability using traditional joinery and premium solid hardwoods.

• Plush Upholstered Seat: The chair is fitted with a crisp, expertly tailored seat cushion, offering a soft contrast to the intricate woodwork of the frame.

• Lustrous Hand-Rubbed Finish: Every surface is hand-finished to a silky-smooth luster that protects the timber and highlights the precision of the carved details.

The Anna Liffey Side Chair is a durable work of art, designed to bring a sense of history, lightness, and soulful Vermont craftsmanship to the most elegant dining environments.
