Exhibiting the finest hallmarks of Scottish vernacular design, this piece features a characteristically dramatic, raked backrest with slender spindles flaring out to a broad, gently curved top cresting rail. Darvel chairs have such a lovely “Rakish” stance, meaning they have a lovely backwards lean making them all the more comfortable.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"TDBkbc#Ml18Xb\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"JbN8I_s\" data-hveid=\"CAAICRAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"TDBkbc#Ml18Xb\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"JbN8I_10\" data-hveid=\"CAAIChAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003eAlso typical of Scottish Darvel chairs (known as Windsor chairs in England) it has a thick, solid D-shaped slab seat that is subtly contoured to the front for comfort and slopes elegantly to the rear.
