The Framley takes its name from the Barsetshire living in Trollope’s Framley Parsonage, a comfortable corner of English ecclesiastical life. A generously proportioned occasional chair, it suits a rectory drawing room as well as a city apartment.
The proportions are the point: 98cm tall but only 67cm wide. That is height without footprint, and there is nothing else quite like it in the collection. Scroll arms and a tall tight back give it a formal, upright line, and dark turned legs on brass castors finish it in the traditional way.
A narrow, tall chair does something specific in a room — it draws the eye upwards and fills a vertical gap without eating floor. It works beside a chimney breast, in an alcove, or in a flat where every centimetre of width is spoken for.
The tall narrow back panel suits vertical patterns particularly well: stripes run naturally with the shape, and fine checks read neatly at this width. Very large repeats have nowhere to go.
