What is a campaign chair?
Specifically designed to be easily folded away and then travelled from place to place, campaign chairs and furniture have been being made since the time of Julius Caeser. Named after their use in military campaigns, campaign chairs are often crafted from lightweight wood or metal and feature fabric seating slung between the frames. Taking on a new style in the 18th century, Georgian campaign furniture chairs were elegantly crafted from exotic woods and reflected the tastes of colonial-era admirals and generals. Today, the most instantly recognisable iteration of the campaign chair might just be the leather butterfly chair. A piece synonymous with mid-century ranch style, it has become a coveted piece among many furniture fans worldwide.
What styles of furniture go with vintage campaign chairs?
Do to their temporary nature, campaign chairs were often not designed to be part of a complete furniture scheme. Thus, they lend themselves to mixing with an array of vintage furniture styles. For example, a pair of Victorian folding campaign chairs might pair well as occasional chairs in a library or study with a Victorian sideboard or Victorian desk. While a pair of 1960s folding leather vintage campaign chairs are ideal when paired with vintage dining tables for a laid-back look.
