Ercol Highback Dining Chairs
£225.00 – £275.00
These gorgeous vintage Ercol dining chairs feature a highback hoop back and are available with plain stick backs or with the central swan backsplat.
Despite being of exceptional quality, the original finish is often chipped and flaking so Glasshouse Girl brings them bang up to date by stripping this off. The seat pads are then sanded back to bare wood and sealed them with hardwax oil giving a soft natural finish. The back/base is refinished in high quality acrylic paint which feels soft to the touch. The standard colours I offer are black or white but custom colours are available upon request – please contact me for more information.
Dimensions: 960mm high / 420mm to top of seat pad.
Price is per chair.
These chairs and similar chairs are painted to order within 6-8 weeks, please contact me with any special requests or if you would like your own chairs painted in this style.
Please note that the final finish / tone of the wooden chair pads will be dependent on the wood the chair is made from.

Grey Roses Faded Elegance Oak Chairs
These farmhouse style ladder back solid oak chairs just ooze faded elegance. They are traditional chairs made from solid oak but have been given an edgy modern finish.
These chairs have now been sold but I can source similar chairs for you and give them a gorgeous makeover.
The grey and white finish has been created through the use of dry brushing techniques and rubbing in paint washes. This gives is a look that from a distance is like metal or stone. Up close you can see gentle distressing which exposes little glimpses of the lovely oak underneath.
The seat pads have been fully replaced with extra-thick (and comfy) fire retardant foam and covered in this lovely vintage Warwick fabric (Monance design) which is a soft beige linen and cotton blend upholstery fabric with dark carbon grey and navy blue roses with a few chocolate brown leaves.
Dimensions - 450mm deep, 400mm wide and 485mm to top of seat pad or 940mm overall height from floor to top of chair back.
They would look equally gorgeous at your dining room table, in the hallway, at a desk or even a dressing table!
As this is a distressed finish on a vintage piece, please review the photos carefully before purchase - thanks!
Black & Pale Yew Sideboard / Dresser
This gorgeous small sideboard has been given a real Glasshouse Girl transformation - you can read all about it on my blog. Starting its journey as a yellow varnished piece, once the varnish came off the yew veneer revealed its true beauty.
The body has been painted (inside and out) in a black matt acrylic paint giving it an edgy modern finish. Whilst the top surface, drawer fronts and doors have had a cream tinted oil applied and been buffed until it feels like velvet. This oil product was originally developed for floors so its incredibly hardwearing.
The handles and hinges have been refinished in brass, a nod to its traditional styling.
This small sideboard would be lovely in a dining room or kitchen but would work equally well as a tv stand or bedroom storage.
Dimensions: 1080mm wide x 460mm deep x 790mm high.
I can source similar yew wood pieces including dining room sets, larger sideboards and bedroom furniture if you would like something similar. I provide no obligation quotes and a sourcing service so that you can find the ideal piece easily.
Rainbow Stickback Chair
Whether you like The Wizard of Oz, support gay Pride or simply love a rainbow, the Glasshouse Girl Rainbow Chair will bring a splash of colour to your dining room, hallway or home office! Colour has been proven to boost your mood and this chair delivers just that!
The chair was completely disassembled, sanded back to the bare wood and undercoated. Each of the stick was painted in a different rainbow colour and the main frame of the chair painted in a matt black acrylic paint.
Once reassembled the chair was topcoated with a satin varnish to keep if looking beautiful and make it hard wearing.
This chair design can also be ordered in sets of 2, 4, 6 or 8 with a black or white frame. Custom coloured sticks and frames are also available on request (a fuschia frame and different pink shade sticks for instance!).
