FAQs

Lambing chairs are traditional British vernacular seating pieces, typically characterised by high panelled backs and enclosed wings designed to protect shepherds and farmers from draughts near open hearths during the winter months.

These pieces were constructed from solid native hardwoods like English oak or elm, featuring pegged mortise and tenon joints, enclosed box bases, and woven rush or webbing seats.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut joinery, timber patination, tool marks, structural wear consistent with age, and the absence of modern machine-cut fixings.

Positioning the chair beside a fireplace or reading corner allows its sculptural silhouette and dark timber tones to add historic grounding and architectural interest to minimalist or eclectic spaces.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the timber.
