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

Pioneered by Michael Thonet in the mid-19th century, bentwood chairs revolutionised furniture manufacturing through steam-bending timber, allowing lightweight, durable, and mass-produced seating for cafes and homes across Europe.

Traditional bentwood chairs are constructed from solid beechwood softened with steam, bent inside metal moulds, and fastened with screws and metal brackets to construct curved structural frames.

Authentic pieces frequently bear paper maker labels or impressed stamps on the underside of the seat rail, alongside steam-bent backrests, curved structural braces, and embossed or woven seats.

Bentwood chairs integrate easily alongside modern or traditional dining tables, introducing curved silhouettes and warm timber tones to dining rooms, kitchens, or breakfast nooks.

Regularly wipe frames with a dry microfiber cloth, apply natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish, and position away from direct heat sources to avoid timber drying or joint loosening.
