FAQs

Spindle back chairs feature a backrest constructed from multiple slender, turned wooden rods or spindles. Rooted in traditional country craftsmanship, this style gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries for its structural strength and lightweight design.

These chairs are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as ash, elm, oak, or beech, often combined with woven rush or straw seats. Traditional joinery techniques, including mortise and tenon joints and turned components, ensure structural integrity without metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age-appropriate wear, hand-turned tool marks on the spindles, variations in wood grain, and natural oxidisation. Examination of the rush weaving underneath and the construction joints often reveals historical handcraft methods distinct from modern reproductions.

Pairing antique wooden chairs with a sleek, modern dining table creates a striking contrast that highlights their craftsmanship. They also function well as standalone accent seating in a living room, hallway, or bedroom to introduce organic texture and historical character.

Maintain antique wooden chairs by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood. Keep rush seats away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent the natural fibres from drying out and becoming brittle.
