Antique Small Occasional Chair | Cora

Antique Small Occasional Chair | Cora

The Cora Antique Elm Occasional Chair is a beautifully characterful piece that brings warmth, history and understated charm to any room. Crafted from solid antique elm, every chair displays the rich patina, weathered grain and historic markings that only generations of use can create. Its honest simplicity and sculptural silhouette make it as much a decorative object as a practical piece of furniture.

Originally made using traditional woodworking techniques, the Cora celebrates the beauty of natural materials and handcrafted design. The gently worn timber, softened edges and authentic imperfections tell the story of its past life, ensuring every chair is entirely unique. These historic characteristics are not flaws but an integral part of its enduring appeal.

Whether placed beside a console table in an entrance hall, used as an occasional chair in a bedroom, or styled in a living room with a favourite throw draped over the back, the Cora introduces effortless character to both contemporary and traditional interiors. It also works beautifully as a decorative accent in a hallway, topped with a carefully chosen stack of books or a woven basket nearby to create a welcoming, lived-in feel.

A timeless piece with quiet presence, the Cora is equally at home in a relaxed country cottage, a converted barn or a thoughtfully curated modern interior where natural materials and craftsmanship take centre stage.

Crafted from Antique Elm

Elm has long been admired for its strength, durability and beautifully expressive grain. Over many decades, the timber develops a rich patina that cannot be recreated, giving antique elm furniture its unmistakable warmth and character.

Every Cora chair bears the natural signs of its history, from gentle surface wear and subtle colour variation to historic marks that celebrate its authenticity. These are the qualities that make antique furniture so desirable and ensure no two pieces are ever alike.

Materials & Construction

The Cora is crafted from solid antique elm using traditional joinery techniques. Its sturdy construction and timeless design have allowed it to stand the test of time, while the naturally aged timber provides character that simply cannot be replicated in newly made furniture.

As an original antique piece, variations in colour, grain, historic repairs and signs of age should all be expected and appreciated as part of its unique story.
