Holly Chair — Austins Holly Chair - Austins

Every leg hand-decorated. Every detail a royal gesture.

"The Holly was designed around the legs — once you commit to hand-decorated carved legs with gold motif work, the rest of the chair has to live up to it. The dark chocolate leather makes the gold pop. The carved crest rail at the top of the back finishes the story. There's nothing on this chair that wasn't considered."

The Making of the Holly Chair

Designed by Harsha

The Holly Chair carries the spirit of European antique furniture into a contemporary Bangalore atelier. Each leg is carved and individually painted with gold decorative pattern elements — a process that takes time and skilled hands. Dark leather meets antique grey wood meets gold: three materials in a conversation that feels genuinely heirloom.

01

Dark Chocolate Leather

Smooth dark chocolate leather with a slight sheen — the colour reads as warm and rich against the antique grey wood, giving the chair its depth and formality. ::

02

Gold Decorative Motifs

Gold decorative pattern elements applied individually to carved legs and frame — a skilled hand-painting or gilding technique that is the defining mark of the Holly's royal character. ::

03

Antique Carved Wood

Solid hardwood frame in an antique grey finish with relief-carved details throughout — every surface speaks of woodworking tradition, not mass production.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Holly Chair?
6–8 weeks from order confirmation. We build one piece at a time — frame first, then upholstery, then a final hand-finish — so the timeline reflects real bench-time, not warehouse stock.
Can I customise the dimensions, leather, or wood?
Yes. Almost every dimension can be adjusted within structural limits, and the leather and wood swatches shown are starting points — speak to a designer if you'd like us to source something specific.
How does delivery work, and where do you ship?
We deliver across India with white-glove placement included. International shipping is available on request — our team will coordinate freight, customs, and last-mile placement at the destination.
What does payment look like for a custom piece?
A 50% deposit confirms the order and reserves your build slot in the atelier. The balance is due before dispatch. We'll share a transparent quote with material and labour breakdown after the consultation.
What if something needs repair years from now?
Every piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Reupholstery, refinishing, and frame repair are handled in-house — a piece built today can be brought back to the workshop a decade from now and restored.
