Will it suit my table? It pairs well with a table of 75cm to 79cm. Allow 55cm to 60cm of table edge per chair, so a 180cm table takes three per side, and a 240cm table seats eight.

Limed (cerused) oak, with pale pigment worked into the grain so the timber shows through rather than being painted over. A carved, scalloped back rail frames an open woven cane panel that flexes gently as you lean.

The padded natural linen seat is breathable, softly textured and comfortable through a long meal.

Cane. Dust with a soft dry brush. Never soak it or use a wet cloth, which can slacken and split the weave. Keep it away from radiators.

Linen seat. Vacuum with an upholstery attachment and blot spills straight away, never rubbing. Pale linen shows marks more readily than darker fabric.

What to expect. Cane relaxes very slightly with use, and oak grain varies between chairs. Order a set together so they come from the same batch.

Six or eight around a long table looks wonderful, and the open backs keep the room feeling light. The pale oak contrasts beautifully with warm reclaimed pine or acacia dining tables.

Hang a pendant above in warm light, and add a bench along one side if the room takes fewer chairs.

Is the price for one chair or a set?

Per chair. Order a full set together so the finish matches.

Is a cane back comfortable?

More than it looks. The weave flexes gently, and the seat is generously padded.

What is limed oak?

A finish where pale pigment sits in the open grain, so the wood shows through with a soft, bleached look.

Is it good for young families?

It suits households happy to blot spills promptly, as pale linen and cane aren't wipe-clean.
