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.

During the 1920s, furniture makers frequently produced revival styles drawing on 18th-century Queen Anne and Gustavian design. These chairs typically feature elegant vasiform back splats, cabriole legs, subtle crest carving, and hand-painted or painted-distressed finishes designed to lighten interior spaces.

These pieces were generally crafted from solid hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or mahogany before being primed and finished in gesso, milk paint, or eggshell. Seats were commonly upholstered using webbed spring construction covered in cotton, linen, or wool upholstery.

Authentic 1920s chairs show evidence of age appropriate wear through layered painted finishes, hand-turned joinery, and period construction along the seat rails. Standard metric fixings or synthetic modern adhesives indicate later production.

A set of painted period chairs pairs effectively with modern oak, zinc, or marble dining tables to create balanced visual texture. Neutral upholstered fabrics and soft grey or off-white paint finishes complement both contemporary and traditional interior colour palettes.

Clean painted wooden surfaces using a soft dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or abrasive polishes that can lift delicate, aged paint layers. Fabric upholstery should be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and spot-cleaned using specialized textile cleaners.
