NEW IN

We just couldn’t resist the opportunity to acquire these, as not only do they evoke wonderful childhood memories, but they are also a charming, stylish and practical pair of kids chairs. Clarks is one of the more distinguished, iconic and treasured British brands that dates back nearly 200 years. These vinatge childs leather tub chairs likely date from around the 1950-60′s and are in excellent condition – and what’s interesting is that the kids who sat in these chairs in the 60′s, still try to sit in them when they visit our shop today…by the way, I have tried, and no I didn’t fit!
