Recently we acquired a large box of leaflets, pamphlets and catalogues which we'll be sharing, in and amongst it all was this Dalescraft catalogue from 1956 - complete with price list! Dalescraft were a premium Yorkshire based brand in the 1950's and early 60's. Their designer, Malcolm D Walker, was inspired by the contemporary Scandinavian pieces to make high quality stylish furniture, more shapely than most available in post war, post rationing Britain.
We have a couple of lovely pieces at our Harrogate showroom. A glass fronted rosewood bookcase and a very stylish serving trolley both are great examples of the quality finish you can expect from Dalescraft
We have just inherited the aysgarth set in teak minus the coffee table.The chairs have red and black pvc on the seats.My parents bought them in the late fifties.Not sure if will keep them but we do like the table.
