A fabulous Shetland oak crofter chair, presented in original, untouched condition—a truly authentic piece of Scottish vernacular furniture. The solid frame remains firm and stable, free from creaks or wobbles, while the woven seat shows some age-related wear in keeping with its use and age. With its distinctive and unconventional design, it’s likely this chair was custom-made, adding to its rarity and intrigue. Handcrafted with care, its construction, form, and preservation combine to make it a genuinely special find—an evocative fragment of Shetland’s domestic history. Whether viewed as a piece of social heritage or admired for its raw beauty, this handmade chair speaks of tradition, craftsmanship, and time-honoured simplicity.
