The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Fiddle back chairs are a traditional style of country seating named after the central wooden back splat, which is shaped like the body of a violin or fiddle.

These chairs were predominantly crafted using native hardwoods, with elm frequently selected for the shaped seats due to its resistance to splitting, and beech or ash used for the turned legs and back spindles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned legs, wedge-tenon construction on the seat joints, distinct variations in timber grain, and natural wear patterns on the front stretchers and seat edges.

A set of country side chairs can be paired with a clean-lined contemporary dining table to create visual contrast, or arranged in an open-plan kitchen to introduce warmth and texture.

Maintain the wood by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish twice a year along the grain, while avoiding placement near direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
