FAQs

Lambing chairs originated in rural Britain, traditionally used by shepherds and farmers during lambing season to keep warm near the hearth while tending to newborn livestock.

They were typically constructed from native British timbers such as oak, elm, or ash, often featuring solid plank seats, high backs to block drafts, and sometimes under-seat drawers for storage.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed surfaces, natural timber patination, and wear patterns consistent with age.

This piece can be styled as a focal point in a living room or study, softening minimalist spaces with its rich texture, often paired with a simple wool or sheepskin throw.

Preservation involves keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking, periodically applying microcrystalline wax, and dusting gently with a dry cloth.
