Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

An 18th-century European throne chair is a formal high-backed armchair typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut or oak. These chairs often feature stretched hide leather upholstery secured by decorative metal studs and incorporate hand-carved motifs on the armrests, finials, and stretchers.

Solid walnut or oak formed the structural framework, while thick cattle hide leather was stretched across the seat and backrest. Fastenings consisted of hand-forged brass or iron studs driven into the wooden frame.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-carved joinery, irregularities in hand-planed timber surfaces, and aged leather with natural surface patination or craquelure. Fastenings typically show variation consistent with hand-hammered studs rather than modern uniform pressings.

Position the chair as a standalone sculptural element in a study, entrance hall, or living space alongside neutral minimalist walls. Combining dark, patinated leather and wood with clean contemporary lines creates visual contrast.

Keep timber surfaces clean using natural beeswax applied along the grain, while treating the leather periodically with a dedicated leather wax or conditioner. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and excessive sunlight to prevent cracking or timber warping.
