Just took delivery of two more chairs... Clissett this time with locally harvested Ash wood. We have multiple styles now but as they are all made of Ash wood and have rush seats, the mix-up is interesting and engaging. As always worth the wait. So beautiful and a joy to live with.
Wish I needed more!
I have recently received a Bedales Ash Armchair from the Marchmont Workshop, ordered many months ago. It has been well worth the wait to have such a beautifully crafted chair.
We are now the very proud owners of a very beautiful set of 6 Bedales oak chairs with rush seats, and matching bespoke hayrake table. The lead in time is quite long but that is because this is heritage craft but practical as well - handmade artisan heirloom pieces! Well worth the wait -and remarkably good value !thank you Richard and Sam for being so helpful - and so skilled!
I have always admired rush seated chairs and at last had a perfect spot for them.
Serendipity led me to Marchmont Workshop and I am now the proud owner of a Ledbury trio. Do not be put off by the lead time, it will always be worth the wait.
A chair, a 2 seater and a 3 seater in natural ash, with an added bonus of watching them take shape in Stories. They are true works of art and craftsmanship. I am absolutely over the moon with them. Thank you, Richard and Sam.
I am the lucky owner of 3 chairs, so far, including one stunning bright blue Bedales armchair. The workmanship is outstanding...they are quite beautiful and very comfortable. Customer service from order to delivery was excellent....second blue chair on order and table on the wishlist. Art in chair form
Amazing! I was lucky enough to secure a one-off red painted chair and I am so thrilled with it. The craftmanship is exceptional and it's also really comfortable. You can tell that so much care goes into their work. And, just as importantly, the personal customer service from Richard was wonderful and so appreciated. Highly recommended and I'll definitely be returning for more chairs very soon!
We ordered a Gimson Round table and 6 chairs from the Marchmont Workshop after a very long search for the right Arts and Craft dining furniture.
Richard and Sam were helpful and flexible throughout the whole process (we even went to visit them up in the Borders). The finished product is absolutely lovely - the week after they were delivered we ordered more chairs for the kitchen.
