FAQs

A Glastonbury chair is an armchair design featuring a distinctive X-frame construction, sloping armrests, and tusked mortise and tenon joints, based on a 16th-century seat originally belonging to the last Abbot of Glastonbury.

Traditional Glastonbury chairs are crafted from solid hardwoods, primarily English oak, and utilise joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints secured with removable wooden pegs or tusks.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature heavy solid oak construction, hand-carved Gothic motifs such as trefoils or quatrefoils, visible exposed joinery with wedge pegs, and deep natural patination from age.

A Glastonbury chair functions well as a singular architectural accent in an entrance hallway, home library, or formal study, contrasting structured historic woodwork against contemporary backdrop tones.

Maintain solid oak seating by dusting regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber and protect the original surface finish.
