The Magical Snowdrop Story Time Chair is a hand-carved storytelling throne with a secret: a hidden drawer beneath the seat, ready to keep a favourite book, a folded note, or a small treasure safe until the next story begins.
Swirling waves rise up the legs, falling snowdrops drift across the back panels, and golden stars are scattered throughout the carving. At the very base, a pair of clasped hands — a symbol of connection, community, and the bond between a storyteller and their audience. Every detail is carved by hand in our Mid Wales workshop, and no two chairs are exactly alike.
Made from solid Oak or Douglas Fir and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish, the Snowdrop Chair is built for a lifetime of outdoor use. The solid hand-built joinery holds everything together as firmly as the stories it will witness.
