The Rare Chair Company

All About Us

Everyone needs a chair!

At The Rare Chair Company we celebrate the art of chair making across the decades.  From simple, hand-crafted Welsh stick chairs to design icons like a Thonet armchair and forward to earlier Parker Knoll models.

We love the shape, design, manufacturing materials and textures of the fabrics used in these fabulous products.  We understand that a chair in your home is a personal choice and one that must evoke a positive emotion every time you see it and relax.  A chair is also a statement from the designer and a reflection of your personality within your home. Yes, it is a big deal!

So, what will you find on our very cool website?  Well, chairs and the odd sofa from all parts of the world in a myriad of styles, shapes and sizes by some of the most fantastic designers and manufacturers.  We specialise in antique, vintage, mid-century and retro pieces.

Our chairs are sustainably sourced, restored and reupholstered (if required) to the highest standards.  As a special addition to our stock items we also produce one-off chairs in a range of limited-edition high quality and luxurious fabrics.

Stock is updated regularly; we source for our clients and ship to your door using our own delivery drivers. 

We have new stock arriving regularly - check out our selection today!

What Our Customers Say...

Definitely a beautiful, comfy and practical rocking chair, whenever friends call they make a beeline to sit in my beautiful green velvet rocking chair. Delivery was sooner than expected, courtesy from gentleman who owns company and delivered my chair.

Exquisite!! I'm lost for words. I have been after one of these chairs for a long time, but I've never found one as well looked after, cared for and restored to its pure beauty as much as this one.

Sammy - 1940s Halabala Armchair

Arrived ahead of time and delivery went smoothly. I absolutely love the chair, the material is exquisite and the reupholstery is faultless. If I had more room I would most certainly purchase more furniture. I cannot recommend therarechaircompany highly enough
