A wainscot chair is a heavy, wooden armchair popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, characterised by a panelled back and solid timber construction, taking its name from the oak panels used in wall panelling.

These chairs were traditionally crafted from solid native hardwoods, predominantly English or Welsh oak, joined together using mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs.

Authentic pieces exhibit period joinery such as handmade wooden pegs, hand-planed surfaces with tool marks, natural timber oxidisation, and consistent wear patterns appropriate to their age.

Pair this historic seating with minimalist or contemporary furnishings to create a striking contrast, using it as a statement piece in a hallway or alongside a sleek modern table.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and occasionally nourish the wood with a traditional beeswax polish.
