Posted on | Leave a comment

Grace

Yes, it's another retro-inspired gem from the current House of Fraser range, specifically the Linea Grace armchair.

This time, we're in the world of the single seat, this being a mini wing chair if you like, with a flared back and slightly angled arms, as well as a buttoned back, stained and angled conical legs, plus a wood subtract frame and traditional webbed seat platform. All of that is finished in what is described as an 'aubergine' fabric.

Like most of the furniture at House of Fraser, this midcentury gem is discounted right now, down from £399 to a current price of £299.

So if you want this 50s-style gem, complete with those diagonal legs (in a choice of finishes), those lovely curves for both the back and arms and a fabric finish in what seems like an almost-endless choice of cloths, head over the the Laura Ashley site to get a closer look.
