Set of Ten Mid Century Carl Jacobs 'Jason' ChairsGorgeous set of ten Jason chairs designed by Carl Jacobs & Frank Guille for Kandya. The Jason chair was designed by the Danish designer Carl Jacobs but was manufactured by Kandya, a British firm. This lightweight, stackable, chair has gently tapering splayed legs that are typical of Danish design of the period.The seat and back of the chair are folded from a single sheet of flexible plywood that wraps around the chair and joins below the seat in an expressive, though functionless, jigsaw puzzle type connection. In America the Eames and Eero Saarinen were experimenting with moulding single-piece chair seats and backs, but it required far simpler technology to bend plywood to achieve the same effect, as with this chair. Principally designed for domestic use, the Jason chair was in continuous production for almost twenty years, with metal legs as an option. In 1952 three hundred were installed in the South Bank Restaurant on the site of the Festival of Britain. This set has the solid metal leg option, finished in ivory with a black foot. The bentwood seats have been cleaned back to a more contemporary bleached wood finish.£5,500.00In stock -

Contemporary Handwoven Oushak CarpetThe weaving workshops of Western Anatolia, where Oushak carpets such as this piece were originally made, have a rich history, stretching back at least as far as the Early Modern era – as the 14th Century explorer Marco Polo once wrote, ‘here they make the most beautiful silks and carpets in the world, and with the most beautiful colours.’ During the 19th Century, these rugs began to be woven in Persia, tailored specifically for the Western market, and these are often seen in historic homes across the UK and Europe.This carpet, finely handwoven in Iran in wool-on-wool technique – just as the 19th Century Oushak carpets originally would have been – represents a contemporary reimagination of these high-end earlier pieces, and features a grand scale drawing, with a spacious, elegant composition - especially in relation to its smaller, furnishing size format - to which the pale sky blue tone of the central field and wide ivory border add a great sense of depth and richness.A stylish example to complement a tasteful setting.£5,000.00In stock -

OUR STORY
Lorfords has been a continually evolving project since 2001.
Toby Lorford escaped London and the trappings of broadcast and PR at the end of the 90s, slowly following his father's footsteps in buying and selling old things. By 2003 the first Lorfords Antiques shop was trading in Tetbury... two years later Lorfords moved into its home at 30 Long Street and has never looked back.
