A comfortable mid century wingback oak chair, this is ideal for the fireside and has been made by one of Derbyshire’s best known craftsmen. The Nigel Griffiths family workshop has been producing fine handmade oak furniture since 1946. Nigel’s father, Rupert Griffiths, was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and sold his furniture through top retail stores, including Harrods.
