{"product_id":"storytellers-chair-handcrafted","title":"Elven Story Time Chair — Hand-Carved Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Elven Story Time Chair is a hand-carved solid oak storytelling throne with the elegant, flowing lines and organic grace that give it an unmistakably elven quality — a chair that makes any space feel like the beginning of an ancient story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere our Viking chairs are bold and commanding, the Elven chair is quieter and more mysterious. The carving has a lightness to it — curves where other chairs have angles, details that emerge gradually as you look more closely. It works beautifully in forest school settings and woodland gardens where the natural grain of the oak and the organic lines of the carving feel like they belong to the same world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Available in oak, cedar or Douglas fir — get in touch if you have a preference for a specific timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal height: 170 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal width: 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (back): 42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (front): 50 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 46 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElven organic carving style\u003c\/strong\u003e — flowing curves and elegant line work, lighter and more mysterious than our Norse designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in oak, cedar or Douglas fir\u003c\/strong\u003e — each timber gives a slightly different character and tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult proportions\u003c\/strong\u003e — 46 cm seat height, wide enough for a teacher or storyteller of any age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — solid hand-built joinery, built for years of school and outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can add elven script, leaf and branch motifs, star patterns, or any other detail that fits the world you have in mind.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your timber is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Douglas Fir \/ Cedar \/ Unvarnished","offer_id":53500127314295,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1376","price":960.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ Unvarnished","offer_id":53500127347063,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1377","price":1070.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Douglas Fir \/ Cedar \/ Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213769286007,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1376","price":1024.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213769318775,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1377","price":1143.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/elven-story-time-chair-4770762.jpg?v=1759412397","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/storytellers-chair-handcrafted","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
