A striking pair of vintage ‘Ben’ carver chairs by Stoe of Great Britain, with beautifully sculptural lines and a distinctive mid-century feel.
The real feature is their elegant sweeping bentwood construction, flowing effortlessly through the curved backs and arms and down into slender tapered legs. Beautifully proportioned from every angle, they have a light, almost architectural quality that makes them just as appealing as statement pieces as they are practical seating.
The chairs appear to have been professionally reupholstered at some point in their life, with the fabric remaining in excellent condition with no obvious rips or stains. The wooden frames are also in excellent vintage condition, with just a few minor marks and signs of age consistent with previous use. Please take a close look through all photographs, as these form an important part of the description.
A fabulous and unusual pair of British vintage chairs, perfect positioned together in a living room or bedroom, or separated as occasional seating. Their sculptural shape makes them an especially lovely choice for adding character, warmth and mid-century style to an interior.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
