{"product_id":"owl-reading-chair","title":"Owl Storytelling Chair — Hand-Carved Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Owl Storytelling Chair is a hand-carved solid oak throne with a majestic barn owl watching over every story told from its seat — one of the most striking chairs in our range, and one that children never quite stop looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe barn owl is carved in relief across the full height of the backrest, wings tucked, head turned, with the kind of calm authority that seems to say a story is about to begin. Schools and libraries tell us it changes the atmosphere of a room the moment it arrives — children sit differently in it, speak differently from it, and treat story time as the serious and magical thing it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from sustainably sourced solid British oak and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for lasting outdoor protection. The finish keeps the carved detail crisp and the wood warm through all seasons — equally at home in a school library corner or a forest school garden.\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: 80 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\u003eHand-carved barn owl backrest\u003c\/strong\u003e — carved in full relief, wings tucked, with feather detail across the full height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSustainably sourced solid British oak\u003c\/strong\u003e — built for indoor and outdoor use, year-round in school settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpifanes matt varnish, 3 coats\u003c\/strong\u003e — professional exterior finish keeping the carving crisp season after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult proportions\u003c\/strong\u003e — 46 cm seat height and wide armrests, designed for teachers and storytellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — pairs beautifully with our mushroom stools to complete a storytelling corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can carve your school's name, badge, or a dedication into the seat or back. The owl can also be changed to a different bird — a red kite, a raven, a puffin, or whatever species means something to your school or setting. We have made versions with school crests incorporated into the wings and perch. Tell us your idea and we will sketch it out before any carving begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTypical lead time is 4–5 weeks, though we can work around tight deadlines. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e Schools can order by purchase order and pay on invoice — once your order is placed, it is confirmed and booked in.
