Every hand finished piece has its own character...
Each piece of furniture is chemically etched by hand after the zinc coating is applied leaving an antique finish. The joy of these hand processes means that every piece has its own character that evolves with age and improves as the product weathers. Colours can vary from light to dark grey. The finish is always varied, it is not a paint and is not intended to be completely uniform, which adds to the charm of these unique pieces.
Bistro Table
The Southwold Bistro Table is a compact round table with stylish curved legs, scrolled feet and an attractive top design designed to seat 2 people and measures 75cm diameter, standing 73cm high. The table has a 65mm parasol hole in the centre, the supplied bung which matches the table can be used when an umbrella or parasol is not required.
Two sets are available; Bistro Table & 2 Carver Chairs or Bistro Table & 2 Side Chairs. The table and chairs are structurally guaranteed for 25 years, but our testing suggests that all the Southwold Furniture Collection can be genuinely considered as heirloom pieces that will last for generations if looked after.
Carver & Side Chairs
The Southwold Carver Chairs (with arms) and Side Chairs (without arms) in the sets have been designed to be both comfortable and beautiful. The material has been carefully selected using different thicknesses of steel to ensure the right amount of 'give' while retaining structural strength. The chair legs use 8mm thick steel for strength and rigidity and the seat base and back use 3mm slats to give comfort and spring to the seat. The arms on the Carver Chairs use 5mm thick steel strip.
