FINBACK CHAIR

We are enormously proud that a pair of these chairs was commissioned by Sir Nicholas and Lady Goodison and donated by them through the Art Fund to the permanent collection of 20th-21st British crafts at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

All the joints are hidden within the wood. We use a stainless steel threaded bar, secured by boat builders’ resin, to ensure a lasting and robust construction. This technique allows us to dispense with the traditional cacophony of rails and under-frame, relying instead on the intrinsic strengths of timber. It also allows us to give full throttle to the sculpting skills of the maker.

For all purchases over £3000 we offer the option of payment in two instalments. If this is of interest, please get in touch on 01747 820511 or showroom@matthewburt.com.
