FAQs

A wainscot chair is a heavy, solid timber armchair characterised by a panelled back, prominent during the 16th and 17th centuries across Britain and Western Europe.

Seating from this era was constructed primarily from native oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs rather than metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces feature hand-planed timber surfaces, pegged joints, natural wood shrinkage along panel lines, and smooth wear on areas where hands and feet rested.

Place the chair as a standalone sculptural accent in an entryway, study, or living space alongside simple, modern furnishings to contrast the dark timber.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish occasionally, keeping the wood away from direct radiators and moist areas.
