The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Ormskirk rush seat chairs are a distinct style of vernacular furniture originating from Lancashire, England, characterised by turned spindles, regional rail profiles, turned stretchers, and hand-woven rush seats.

Regional rush chairs were traditionally crafted from locally sourced English hardwoods such as ash, alder, or oak, featuring seats woven from natural freshwater rushes wrapped around a timber frame.

Authentic pieces feature pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, natural wear on turned front stretchers, genuine woven rush seating, and hand-turned timber components displaying slight structural variations.

These chairs pair effectively with simple timber dining tables in contemporary kitchen spaces, or function as standalone accent seating in hallways and bedrooms to add textural interest.

Maintain rush seats by gently vacuuming dust with a soft brush attachment and lightly misting the rush with water occasionally to prevent drying, while cleaning timber elements with microfibre cloths and natural beeswax.
