The wonderful Dianne at Ghost Furniture is having a massive clear out. There’s 50% off everything in her current range. That includes this fantastic Shabby Chic chair:
The chair is covered with fabulous vintage fabric. Just read what Diane says about it:
This fabulous, huge chair with the most wonderful curved back slats, was found in a cellar of a medieval house just outside Paris. The sad and tired old covers were discarded and replaced with a fantastic linen and crewelwork, fully-lined fabric taken from a throw purchased back in the 1990s from The English Home Sussex House collection.
The throw itself cost £450 originally . We have covered the cushions in such a way as to show off the best and most ornate parts of the crewelwork. The chairhas been painted with Farrow and Ball White Pointing Eggshell. This is one seriously comfortable chair – ideal for curling up in with a good book and a hot chocolate.
The chair is reduced to £600 – that’s half price gorgeousness to you!!Run over there fast -there’s lots more shabby chic furniture in the sale too, including some very modestly priced items.

What a lovely vintage chair, here’s some more info on shabby chic: Shabby chic is a term used in interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their age and signs of wear and tear or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique or vintage piece of furniture. The level of distressing can vary and is a matter of personal taste. The term was coined by The World of Interiors magazine in the 1980s and became extremely popular in the US in the ’90s with the revival of cult boho films such as Chocolat, Moulin Rouge! Shabby chic caught on in the UK with television programmes such as changing rooms and numerous others who followed in their footsteps. Whilst many interior designers will argue that shabby chic has had its day, it’s a look that remains popular and let’s face it, whether it’s an original antique or a reproduction piece of furniture, if you like it then who cares what’s in or out! One thing for sure, shabby chic furniture is timeless.
