Antique Oak Turners Chair

1900 - 1920
Description

A quirky antique oak turners chair dating from circa 1900. This stylish armchair features a chip carved geometric back splat, turned spool arms and a triangular wooden seat joined by turned spindle stretchers. It is the Warwick design and in the style of John Starkey.

So great was the interest of the Victorian public and collectors in Tudor and Elizabethan, that a large number of reproductions of early pieces of furniture were made during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is a reproduction of the celebrated seventeenth century turned chair at Lord Leycester’s Hospital in Warwick. Many of these were sold as ‘The Old Saxon Chair’ by John Starkey, a Warwick cabinet-maker and antique dealer.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A turners chair, also known as a thrown chair, is a traditional form of seating constructed almost entirely from lathe-turned wooden components connected with mortise and tenon joints, historically associated with Renaissance and Jacobean vernacular furniture.

These chairs are typically crafted from solid timbers such as oak or ash, utilising turned bobbin or spindle posts, legs, and stretchers fitted together to form a distinctive triangular seat configuration.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned elements displaying subtle variations in profile, pegged construction, geometric carved panels on the crest rail, and genuine wear around the stretchers and seat edges.

The architectural, geometric form allows it to function as a focal accent piece in a hallway, library alcove, or corner space, harmonising with minimalist or traditional background tones.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying high-grade beeswax polish periodically to preserve the dark patina, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
