The Welsh Stick Chair is a relative of both the three legged stool and the long bench, designed to stand on the uneven floors of rural farms and cottages.
A 12th century manuscript of the laws of Hywel Dda , who by 942 AD ruled over most of the country and claimed the title "King of all Wales", provides the earliest known surviving record of a Welsh stick back chair containing an illustration of a Judge sitting on such a chair.
Today, Chris Williams continues the tradition by producing these beautiful handmade chairs for a new generation.
