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.

This set of four Arts and Crafts dining chairs dates from 1930 and follows a traditional rustic farmhouse style. Made from light ash timber in a natural finish, the design incorporates a ladderback construction with three horizontal slats, tapered uprights, hand-woven rush seats, and turned stretchers supporting the base. Each chair measures 88 cm high, 46.5 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. Suitable for daily dining use around a kitchen or dining table, these chairs bring a classic vernacular aesthetic to modern interior spaces. The straightforward wooden framework and tactile woven rush seating provide a functional and enduring seating solution for contemporary homes.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts seating emphasises structural integrity, utilitarian design, and natural materials, featuring visible joinery, turned timber frames, and hand-woven rush seats.

These chairs are constructed using native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm, connected with mortise and tenon joints, and paired with hand-twisted freshwater rush seating.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-turned stretchers, ladderback slats, tightly woven natural rush patterns, and evidence of hand-tooled timber or traditional pegged joinery.

Place these chairs around a contemporary wooden dining table or position them as accent seating alongside neutral upholstery to introduce organic texture into modern spaces.

Clean the rush weave gently using a soft brush or vacuum attachment, avoiding water, while applying clear beeswax periodically to protect and preserve the oak frame.
