Description

With an excellent colour and recently re-rushed seats, this beautiful set of spindle back chairs are solid elm and ash and are in very good condition throughout – sturdy and firm with no worm or replaced elements.

.

From a local estate and clearly always well cared for, the six chairs were made by the same hand and all of the spindles, the front and side stretchers, legs and rails are beautifully turned and joined and have developed a rich colour and warm patina.

.

Old dings and marks, small knocks and losses to the feet and to one of the front stretchers which has lost part of its central globe turning – all just normal wear from daily use over generations and these are very old and honourable scars with patination and smoothed by time.

.

A lovely and true set of 19th century spindle backs.

Spindle back chairs have roots in traditional English vernacular seating, gaining widespread popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries across rural workshops.

Authentic period chairs typically feature native timbers such as elm, ash, or oak, combined with woven rush or straw seats and traditional joined construction.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-turned spindles, natural timber patina, pegged joints, and signs of genuine wear consistent with age.

Pairing antique timber seating with modern minimalist tables creates a balanced interior scheme that highlights the natural grain and historic craftsmanship.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the rush from drying out, cleaning timber gently with a soft cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
