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

Seventeenth-century armchairs, often associated with the Jacobean and Carolean eras, feature high vertical backs, robust timber framestypically oakand detailed relief carving. Towards the end of the period, upholstered leather and brass nailhead trimming became increasingly popular for added comfort.

These armchairs were constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak or walnut, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Upholstery utilised thick hide leather secured with hand-hammered brass studs over natural fillings such as horsehair.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved wood elements, irregular mortise and tenon joints, and historical wear patterns on armrests and stretchers. Original leather upholstery will show natural patination, subtle craquelure, and hand-fitted brass fixings.

A carved high-back armchair serves as an impactful accent piece in a contemporary living space, study, or hallway. Pairing dark leather and timber with neutral walls and modern minimalist decor creates a sophisticated visual contrast.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the leather from drying or fading. Treat the leather periodically with a specialised leather balm and dust the carved wooden frame using a soft brush or lint-free cloth.
