The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-18th-century Georgian chairs are characterised by dense Cuban mahogany, hand-carved crest rails, and vase-shaped back splats. This period transitioned from heavy Queen Anne curves toward refined Chippendale-influenced silhouettes with square stretchers and drop-in seats.

Primary timbers were predominantly imported mahogany due to its durability and fine grain suitable for intricate carving. Framing was constructed with mortise-and-tenon joints, while drop-in seats were upholstered over beech or pine sub-frames using horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, hand-carved detail with slight asymmetry, and original pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery. Age-appropriate surface patination, oxidation on underside woods, and original square corner blocks also signal genuine period construction.

These side chairs function as singular accent pieces in a hallway or flanking a side table, as well as paired with contemporary dining tables to create deliberate stylistic contrast. Re-upholstering the drop-in seats in neutral linens or modern patterned fabrics can seamlessly update their appearance.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish. Avoid direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources, which can cause timber shrinkage, joint loosening, or discolouration of the wood and upholstery.
