An Early 20th Century Orkney Chair

The 'Stronza' chair probably made by David Kirkness & retailed by Liberty's of London.

Kirkness established it as the most popular Orkney type in the 1890s. His workshop in Kirkwall, Orkney, made frames from pine or oak ordered from Aberdeen rather than local driftwood. He sent finished frames to skilled locals who wove the straw directly onto them.

Good original condition; slight damage to the centre of the drop-in seat.
