FAQs

A Gainsborough chair is a wide armchair with a padded back, open arms, and short legs, traditionally designed in 18th-century England for use in libraries and writing desks.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, carved detailing, and traditional webbing and stuffing upholstery methods.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, tool marks, joinery construction, and ageing of the interior webbing and hardware for consistency with the stated era.

They can be paired with contemporary minimalist desks or used as statement accent seating in a living room to introduce textural contrast and historical character.

Keep wooden frames conditioned with appropriate wax polishes, protect upholstery from direct sunlight, and avoid placing them near heat sources to prevent timber cracking and fabric degradation.
