FAQs

Spindle back and penny seat chairs evolved from traditional vernacular seating in rural Britain, where local craftsmen utilised native timbers like elm and ash to create robust, practical seating for everyday domestic use.

These chairs typically feature solid elm seats carved with a circular depression (known as a penny seat), combined with ash or beech spindles and legs joined via traditional stick-back and wedged tenon construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned components with minor irregularities, natural timber shrinkage, traditional peg or wedge joinery, and patination accumulated from decades of use.

Pairing antique wooden chairs with a contemporary dining table creates a balanced juxtaposition, adding warmth, texture, and historical character to minimalist or modern spaces.

Preserve antique wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
