{"product_id":"woodland-storytelling-chair","title":"Woodland Storytelling Chair — Carved Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Woodland Storytelling Chair is a hand-carved and hand-painted oak throne alive with British wildlife — owls, foxes, badgers, deer and squirrels woven into every surface, making it one of the most colourful and intricately detailed chairs we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach animal is individually carved and then painted in the workshop, which means no two Woodland Thrones are ever quite the same. The result is a chair that children gravitate towards the moment they see it — before a story has even started, they are already finding creatures hidden in the carving and making up tales of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It looks amazing.

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 oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500127379831,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1375","price":1970.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213682450807,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1375","price":2202.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/enchanted-forest-throne-2828271.png?v=1759412399","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/woodland-storytelling-chair","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
