A design that is still as current today as it was in colonial times hellip during the 1700s the british colonial planters in india needed something to sit on ndash presumably to watch the workers from a more comfortable vantage point. And so the colonial planters chair was born hellip and they can still be seen in countless locations across india ndash an ageing legacy of colonial times. The original design, in typical self indulgent style, had flaps under the armrests that folded out to become leg rests ndash presumably for when the planter felt like having a snooze while the slaves worked! Our design has all the sinuous curves and ornate leg work of the original but is finished to a very high standard in teak with a hand woven synthetic rattan seat for the maximum comfort value and a stylish appearance. The wide, flat armrests remain the same and are still perfect for holding drinks and the like. The synthetic weave is ecolene ndash one of the highest quality synthetic weaves on the market today. Why ecolenetrade outdoor rattan weave? Over time the teak will age beautifully whilst still maintaining its dense, oily qualities that make it perfect for outdoor use and withstanding the elements without cracking or splitting. To retain the cosmetic, golden brown look of new teak you can remove the silver grey aged colour with mild, soapy water or with our range of teak care products. This is purely for cosmetic purposes ndash as a timber teak does not need any maintenance at all to help it withstand what the weather throws at it.
