Price History
Description
Inspired by the heritage of equestrian pursuit, the Saddle chair evokes the spirit of freedom and the harnessing of power that a saddle represents. The Saddle’s unique shape evokes adventure, speed and sporting elegance of polo, racing and hunting.
Our Stylist Says
The saddle chair's rugged, vintage appeal makes it a striking statement piece in both eclectic and industrial interiors. I love how this piece combines classic craftsmanship with a contemporary edge, working well in relaxed living rooms, cosy reading nooks, or even modern offices. When styling, consider pairing it with other textured materials like linen or wool for a layered look. Practical tips include balancing its vintage vibe with sleek, minimal accessories and opting for neutral-toned throws or cushions to keep the look fresh and inviting. It’s a versatile piece that injects character while remaining functional, perfect for adding a touch of personality to a variety of spaces.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
