FAQs

Early 18th-century oak chairs are characterised by robust construction, simpler lines transitioning from heavy seventeenth-century forms, and functional solid timber designs.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid English oak, utilising traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, pegged frames, and hand-planed solid timber planks.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut tool marks, historical timber shrinkage, genuine oxidisation and patina, and period-appropriate joinery without modern fasteners.

They provide grounding contrast when paired with contemporary dining tables or used as accent seating in minimalist spaces to introduce historical warmth and texture.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources, and treating the timber periodically with traditional beeswax.
