Astral Serpent Oak Chair

A one-of-a-kind statement piece crafted with intention and care. Reimagined through slow, hands-on craft, this restored ASTROLA oak frame armchair serves as a protective guardian piece for the home—a grounded space designed for rest, reflection, and quiet refuge.

Drawing inspiration from ancient mythology where serpents act as sacred protectors of thresholds, this design turns a classic seat into a comforting sanctuary. Reupholstered in deep midnight deadstock fabric, the chair features a golden serpent coiled across the backrest and seat, surrounded by glowing celestial starbursts. Applied through custom appliqué and detailed hand-embroidery, the motif continues down the back of the chair so its watchful presence can be appreciated from every angle.

Finished with antique brass upholstery tacking to frame the rich fabric and solid oak structure, this piece celebrates the art of breathing new life into forgotten materials to create lasting, protective art.
