Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

An armorial chair is characterised by a heraldic crest, coat of arms, or family insignia carved into the backrest frame or crest rail. Popular during the Victorian era, these chairs were commissioned to display lineage, institutional affiliation, or landed status within grand residences.

High-grade Cuban or West Indian mahogany was the preferred wood due to its structural stability and dense grain, ideal for detailed hand carving. Upholstery typically featured durable woven textiles, including wool tapestry, needlepoint, or horsehair fabric.

Authentic pieces display hand-carving marks along intricate recesses, traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, and natural oxidation within deep carved areas. Original brass castors, hand-cut screws, and age-consistent wear to the timber finish further indicate authenticity.

Positioning a high-backed armorial chair in an entryway, study, or hallway creates a focal point that contrasts structured historical craftsmanship with minimalist contemporary architecture. Pairing the dark timber frame alongside neutral backdrops highlights the silhouette and detailed timber carving.

Dust the carved woodwork regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the mahogany finish. Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent textile fading and timber cracking.
