The International Exhibition: garden-chair of the Coalbrookdale Company, 1862. Creator: Unknown

The International Exhibition: garden-chair of the Coalbrookdale Company, 1862. Garden-chair...wrought of fem-leaves...The garden-chair is formed chiefly of cast iron, but the seat is judiciously constructed of wooden laths; in the work generally sharp corners and pointed protuberances are avoided; and this quality speaks very favourably for the designer, even so much so that were it otherwise it would at once have to suffer ignominious condemnation, however exalted in other respects'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the Garden-chair of the Coalbrookdale Company, showcased at the International Exhibition of 1862. The chair, a marvel of 19th century design, is primarily made of cast iron, yet its seat is ingeniously crafted from wooden laths. The designer's thoughtful consideration is evident in the avoidance of sharp corners and pointed protuberances, a decision that speaks volumes of their skill and sensitivity to comfort. The chair's intricate decoration is inspired by the natural world, with cyathea ferns and other plants delicately engraved onto its surface. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the Garden-chair's unique beauty and the harmony between industrial craftsmanship and the natural world. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a significant cultural event that brought together the best of industrial and artistic achievements from around the world. The Coalbrookdale Company, a leading manufacturer of cast iron and metalware, showcased this unusual yet elegant Garden-chair, which would have been a prized addition to any Victorian household. The photograph print, with its intricate details and decorative elements, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this Victorian Garden-chair and the artistic and industrial prowess of the Coalbrookdale Company.
