6x McIntosh of Kirkcaldy Dining Chairs

DESIGN: McIntosh  of Kirkcaldy

This elegant set of six dining chairs by McIntosh of Kirkcaldy is a fine example of British mid-century modern design, combining Scandinavian influence with exceptional craftsmanship.

Beautifully constructed from solid teak, the chairs showcase the clean lines and refined proportions that define McIntosh’s most desirable designs. The gently curved backrests and subtly tapered legs create a light, sculptural form, while offering excellent support and comfort for everyday dining.

Each chair has been extensively refurbished to a high standard, with the teak frames carefully restored to enhance the natural richness and depth of the wood grain. The seats have been newly upholstered in a luxurious navy mohair, providing a soft, durable finish that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the teak and adds a contemporary edge to the classic design.

Well-balanced and versatile, these chairs are ideal for pairing with both mid-century and modern dining tables, bringing a sense of understated elegance to any interior.

This is a superb set, offering both style and practicality, and a great opportunity to acquire fully restored McIntosh seating ready for immediate use.

A timeless and highly functional set, these chairs embody the quality and design integrity that make McIntosh of Kirkcaldy furniture so enduringly popular.

McIntosh of Kirkcaldy was one of Scotland’s most respected furniture manufacturers, renowned for producing high-quality mid-century modern furniture during the 20th century. Based in Kirkcaldy, Fife, the company gained an international reputation for its craftsmanship, elegant design, and strong Scandinavian influence.

Founded in the late 19th century, McIntosh initially specialised in traditional furniture before evolving in the post-war years to embrace modern design. During the 1950s and 1960s, the company collaborated with leading designers, most notably Tom Robertson, who helped shape its distinctive mid-century aesthetic.

McIntosh furniture is characterised by clean lines, refined proportions, and exceptional attention to detail, often crafted in rich timbers such as teak and rosewood. Their dining furniture in particular—tables, chairs, and sideboards—became highly sought after for combining practicality with understated elegance.

Strongly influenced by Danish design, yet rooted in British manufacturing traditions, McIntosh pieces offered a more accessible interpretation of Scandinavian modernism. This balance of style, quality, and affordability made the brand especially popular in the UK and export markets.

Today, McIntosh of Kirkcaldy is celebrated as a key name in British mid-century modern furniture, with its pieces widely collected and appreciated for their durability, timeless design, and enduring appeal.

For example a set of 6 chairs, a dining table or a sideboard to London would incur a £100-£150 additional charge.

Please note: we do not currently deliver furniture to Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands. However, if you require delivery to these locations, feel free to contact us for a custom quote.

Do you ship internationally?

Currently, we only deliver within the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) due to our 'White Glove' delivery service policy, and we do not use external couriers for furniture deliveries. However, if you're located overseas and wish to place an order, we can arrange it on an Ex-Works basis. This means the product will be made available for collection at our UK warehouse, and you will be responsible for organising shipping, customs, and delivery to your final destination.

What does 'White Glove' delivery mean?

‘White Glove’ delivery means your order is handled by our professional in-house delivery team, ensuring it arrives with care and attention. As part of this service, we will deliver your item to the room of your choice, unpack it, assemble it (where applicable), and remove all packaging for recycling.

Please note: our team does not carry out installations that involve drilling or fixing items to walls, floors, or ceilings. Additionally, we do not assemble shelving systems.

Why don’t you use mainstream delivery companies or couriers?

Because of the specialist nature and lead times of our products, we use our own in-house delivery team to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition—just as it left the manufacturer or workshop. This approach helps us avoid damage, delays, and impersonal service, ensuring the highest level of care from start to finish.

Can I choose a specific delivery date?

Once your order arrives at our warehouse from the manufacturer, a member of our team will contact you to schedule a delivery at a time that suits you. We deliver Monday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. If you require delivery outside these hours, an additional fee may apply.

We can hold your order in our warehouse for up to 10 days at no cost. If you need us to store it for longer, a storage fee may be required. However, we're flexible and assess this on a case-by-case basis—provided it’s not an extended period, we typically don’t charge.

Do you remove packaging?

Yes, as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service, we unpack your item and remove all packaging for recycling. We know how inconvenient it can be to dispose of bulky protective materials, so we take care of it for you.

Do you assemble my product if it arrives in multiple parts?

Yes, as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service, we’ll assemble your product if it requires basic setup and arrives in multiple parts. However, we do not carry out installations that involve drilling or fixing items to walls, floors, or ceilings.

Please note, we do not assemble shelving systems as standard, but this may be available for an additional fee. If you'd like to request this service, please let us know when scheduling your delivery.

Why do you provide assembly?

Assembly is included as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service to ensure you receive the highest level of care and convenience. We understand how frustrating and time-consuming self-assembly can be—and how easily damage can occur during the process. Our experienced delivery team is familiar with every product we sell and ensures it’s assembled correctly and safely.

Additionally, if any components are missing, our team carries spare parts whenever possible. If a part isn’t available on the day, we’ll promptly request it from the manufacturer and return to complete the assembly. This approach eliminates the risk of customer error and ensures a smooth, stress-free experience.
