A wide two seater version of the Peacock garden seat. The inside edge of the arms of this design have a comfortable
concave curve profile which allows your back to lean into it. The Peacock Seat and Peacock design is my version of a
favourite pattern originally produced by J P White of Bedford at the beginning of the 20th century. The original sample
of this seat is shown in Gertrude Jekyll's book on Garden Ornament and Country Houses.
I developed my very first Peacock seat for client in Wiltshire with my interpretation of the original drawing of the
design in the book and the templates that were taken from the few remaining pieces of wood from the original collapsed
seat. Interestingly These were found to be exactly the same as parts of the Biddenham seat copied for Tyntesfield
National Trust. Both original Peacock and Biddenham garden furniture were certainly made in the same workshop of J P
White of Bedford. The Peacock seat is the timeless garden furniture that has a quiet and unassuming appearance allowing
it to harmonise with any surroundings.
