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

A Gainsborough chair, also known as a broad armchair, is a style of 18th-century English upholstered seating featuring a high rectangular back, open padded arms, and exposed wooden framing.

Traditional construction utilizes solid mahogany for visible legs and arm supports, secondary timbers such as pine or beech for internal framing, and upholstery in silk damask, wool, or leather fixed with brass studs.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, slight irregularities in hand-carved mahogany details, natural timber oxidation, and secondary wood wear consistent with 18th-century craftsmanship.

These wide-proportioned armchairs serve as focal accent seating in study spaces, positioned alongside modern side tables, or integrated into traditional living room seating arrangements to provide historical contrast.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax occasionally, while keeping silk or damask upholstery away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels.
