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

A wainscot chair is a heavy, solid oak armchair featuring a panelled backrest, popular in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. The design typically incorporates carved decorative motifs on the back panel and carved cresting along the top rail.

These chairs were primarily constructed from solid native English oak using mortise and tenon joinery held together with wooden pegs. The timber was split or hand-sawn, resulting in dense, durable construction.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-planed surfaces, irregular wooden peg construction, natural timber shrinkage across panels, and deep, uneven patination built up over centuries of hand polishing.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in an entryway, study, or living space. Pair the dark timber with soft natural textiles or minimalist contemporary art to create a contrast between historic structure and modern design.

Maintain the wood by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and extreme damp to prevent wood movement and cracking.
