Description: Infuse your home with a touch of traditional elegance with these beautifully crafted chairs. It is not a reproduction. Tea plantation owners and managers (planters) would return at the end of a day on horseback, recline in their Planter’s Chairs, swing out the arm extensions and elevate their legs. In the time it takes for a few gin and tonics, the swelling of the lower legs would have been reduced and a servant would be able to remove their riding boots. History of the Planter’s Chair At Sotheby’s, David MacDonald, specialist in furniture, speculates: “We often think of the planter’s chair as being Sri Lankan. I think it is a Dutch colonial thing from Sri Lanka that has developed. It first appeared in the Dutch East Indies.” “You have the practicalities of cane which is cool if you think of the air coming through. Then you have got a sort of conventional European chair designed from a practical point of view to recline on.” MacDonald readily embraces the planter’s chair as a classic. “It is almost a timeless design. I love the fact that someone has really been thinking about comfort. “If you see one you want to sit in it.”
