The Story
Behind This Piece
Calamander, the striped ebony native to Sri Lanka, was the luxury wood of the island’s colonial furniture makers. This chair follows a classic eighteenth-century pattern, with a shell-carved crest, cabriole legs and a hand-woven cane seat, finished with a hand-rubbed wax polish.
