Peg has once again been trying out the chairs at Earsham Hall Antiques and has decided that this rather fabulous French hooded porter’s chair is her favourite
Historically found in the entrance halls of grand houses, porter’s chairs were designed with their distinctive tall, enclosed backs to give hall porters and doormen protection from cold draughts
With its carved painted frame and mix of faded paisley and tapestry fabrics, this is a wonderful statement piece that looks great from every angle
We’re open every day from 10am-4pm, you’ll find us in the courtyard Earsham Hall just outside Bungay on the Norfolk / Suffolk border, there are twenty dealers across our two creaky old floors so there’s always lots to see earshamhall_tearooms and Earsham Hall Shop are here too
