FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against mass production, prioritising traditional craftsmanship, natural materials and simple, honest construction inspired by medieval guilds.

These chairs typically utilised native hardwoods such as beech, ash or fruitwood for the frame, combined with woven rush or split cane to form the seat.

Authentic pieces usually feature traditional joinery, hand-woven rush seats showing natural wear patterns, turned wooden framing components and maker stamps or labels from firms like Morris & Co.

An antique wooden armchair brings warmth and texture to modern spaces when paired with minimalist surroundings, acting as a standalone accent piece or seated at a writing desk.

Maintain rush seats by keeping them away from direct heat sources and moisture, dusting with a soft brush, and occasionally treating the wooden frame with microcrystalline wax.
