Bobbin-turning, also known as spool-turning, gained popularity in the 17th century during the Jacobean era and experienced revivals in the 19th century, characterised by cylindrical shapes resembling spools of thread carved on a lathe.

Maintenance requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and rush from drying out, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to the timber.

This piece works effectively as an accent seating option in an empty corner or hallway, contrasting clean modern lines with traditional craftsmanship.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, tool marks, joinery such as pegging, and the natural patination and wear on the wood and rush seating.

These items are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as beech, oak, or ash, featuring woven rush or cane seats for structural support and flexibility.
