The Bicentenary Furniture Collection
What finer way to
celebrate the Bicentenary than with these superb hand-crafted pieces made
exclusively for Remember Nelson by a small group of traditional Norfolk
furniture makers.
The
Trafalgar Suite
The range includes
The Trafalgar Suite - a stunning collection of sofas
and chairs made exclusively for Remember Nelson by Rococo Upholstery.


|
|
The
suite is upholstered in a magnificent 'Nelson' fabric, exclusively
manufactured for Remember Nelson and believed to be the first Nelson
fabric since 1906.
Each sofa is
decorated with traditional acorn finials turned from oak. But these
are no ordinary acorns, for the oak has come from HMS 'Victory'
herself, reclaimed from her restoration in Portsmouth. |
Additional embellishment
comes in the form of hand-made tassles with Turks-head knots.
|
|
The
stunning fabric design, by David Williams, incorporates HMS 'Victory',
Britannia, 'England Expects...', elements of Nelson's coat of Arms,
his famous oak leaf border and of course an image of Nelson himself.
|
Manufactured to order,
The Trafalgar Suite is available in a variety of colours
(Navy, Red, Pale Green and Cream) and configurations (3-seater, 2.5-seater,
2-seater sofas, armchair, footstool and cushions).
Each sofa or armchair
comes complete with 2 cushions, and these are available to purchase separately
to make a magnificent addition to any suite.
Large size Panel
Cushions are also available. These include a panel depicting the Battle
of Trafalgar and are available in the same colour range as above.
The Trafalgar
Suite is an exceptional opportunity to 'Remember Nelson'
in a practical and wholly unique way. Each suite is made to order and
is certain to demand attention wherever it is situated.

Nelson's
Writing Chair


|
|
For
the Nelson devotee, or anyone with
a
fascination for the history of Nelson, HMS 'Victory' or
Trafalgar, this extraordinary chair is a 'must-have' piece.
Crafted in
Norfolk by Rococo exclusively for Remember Nelson, Nelson's
Writing Chair has a unique historical pedigree. |
Some years ago, when
Nelson's original chair on board HMS 'Victory' was judged to
be beyond repair, one of Rococo's craftsmen was invited to produce an
exact replica which now stands in pride of place in Nelson's cabin on
'Victory'.Who better, then, to lend his skill and craftsmanship
to this new edition?
Created to the exact
dimensions from those original drawings, the only difference is in the
material used to upholster the chair. Instead of the brown leather of
the original, we have chosen the exclusive Nelson fabric used elsewhere
in this collection.
The chair has large
pockets on either side, originally designed to 'file' Nelson's incoming
and outgoing letters but now equally useful for TV remote controls, newspapers
or magazines!
Issued in a limited
edition of just 200, each chair will be accompanied by a signed Certificate
of Authenticity. Early reservation is recommended to avoid disappointment.
(Please
note - the original dimensions of this chair mean that it is a little
small by today's standards. If you would prefer to have a chair which
is wider than the original, we would be happy to accommodate you! Please
contact us for more information.)

The
Burnham Chair


|
|
Elegant,
comfortable and a talking point without equal, The Burnham Chair
has already been awarded glowing tributes from all who have seen
it.
Taken from
a traditional EastAnglian design, The Burnham Chair is named after
Nelson's birthplace and is crafted in burr oak and yew by Williams
& Robinson in their Norfolk workshop. |
Each Burnham Chair
contains 3 unique links to Nelson and Trafalgar; links which add to the
prestige and long-term value of these exquisite chairs.
* The back panel
of the chair is made from oak recovered from HMS Victory during her
refitting.
* Inserted in this
panel is a sterling silver medal bearing a cameo portrait of Nelson.
The medal is made from a special refining of silver (Victory Silver)
which includes a small percentage of copper recovered from HMS Victory.
* The third link
is the most obvious, yet the most poignant. The words 'Remember Nelson'
carved into the chair back serve as a constant reminder of Captain Sir
William Hoste's flag signal at the Battle of Lissa in 1811. His simple
message 'Remember Nelson' inspired his men to an overwhelming victory
against the French.
The Burnham
Chair
Height - 37.5"
Width - 18.5" Depth - 14.5"
Price: £1795
Delivery: Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for manufacture

internal shape of 'Victory', while the chair back reflects her rigging.
Made by John
Barnard in his Norfolk studio, The Admiralty Chair is John's tribute
to Nelson; truly a seat fit for an Admiral. |
