FAQs

Preserve the timber with occasional applications of appropriate wax polish, avoid direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, and gently vacuum or dust the woven rush seats.

They provide texture and historical contrast when paired with a contemporary dining table or mixed into a neutral, minimalist scheme to add warmth and character.

Authenticity is assessed through traditional joinery methods, hand-turned components, material ageing, and signs of wear consistent with age, such as oxidisation on the timber and variations in the rush weave.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from local hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm, paired with woven rush or split-cane seats for flexibility and strength.

Ladder back chairs feature horizontal slats across the backrest and date back centuries, originating as practical, utilitarian seating in vernacular furniture traditions across Europe and America.
