Named for the town in India that made it, "The Rhoorkie" was a popular
choice for high-ranking British officers who enjoyed a lifestyle "under
canvas" that allowed the transportation of luxuriously appointed
furnishings, designed to travel well and serve their owners in the style to
which they were accustomed. Despite their substantial and stylish
appearance, the pieces were cleverly designed to quickly break down and
re-assemble without the use of nails or tools, in time for afternoon tea or
an evening "encamp". The solid functionality of these clever pieces
lends itself well to modern interiors. Classic proportions and
elegant, distressed finishes add a lived-in, comfortable statement of
character that will express the owner's reference to history and confidence
in good style. Slightly flexible, the chair is designed to sit well,
even on uneven ground. The original would have been made with teak
wood, which is now endangered. This one is handmade using hardwood
maple with a rich patina finish and brass hardware. Cushions are black
suede hide trimmed with natural leather piping.
