FAQs

A Gainsborough chair is a wide, upholstered armchair with open sides, short cabriole legs, and carved wooden framing, originating in 18th-century England for reading and writing.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak frames, traditionally joined with mortise and tenon techniques, and upholstered over horsehair or coil spring systems.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details, traditional joinery methods, natural ageing on the timber, and historically accurate upholstery materials and tacking beneath modern fabric layers.

Pairing a classic carved wood armchair with minimalist modern furniture creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the traditional silhouette to serve as a focal point in a living room or study.

Keep wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dust upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment, and clean timber using a microfibre cloth and specialized beeswax.
