FAQs

A bobbin chair, also known as a spool chair, features turned woodwork resembling spools or bobbins threaded together. This distinctive style gained popularity during the 17th century in England and saw significant revivals in the 19th century.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from dense hardwoods such as beech, oak, or walnut. The distinctive turned components were shaped using a lathe, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery to ensure structural stability.

Authentication involves examining the hand-turned details for minor irregularities, checking for period-appropriate joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, and assessing the natural patina and oxidisation of the timber.

A bobbin chair serves as an excellent statement piece in contemporary rooms by introducing historical texture and handcrafted warmth. Pair it with neutral upholstery or textured fabrics to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist spaces.

Preserve antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking. Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax.
