FAQs

A back stool is a historical seating form created by attaching a simple backrest to a standard four-legged stool frame, originating prior to the widespread adoption of settee and dining chair designs.

Chairs of this period were made by joiners using mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs, crafted predominantly from native English oak timber.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planed timber, irregular shrinkage around joint pegs, dark oxidisation in crevices, and historic footrest wear along lower stretchers.

A period oak back stool works as a singular statement accent in an entryway or living room, offering a rich textural contrast against clean contemporary lines.

Oak furniture requires regular dusting with a dry lint-free cloth and an occasional thin application of beeswax, while being positioned away from direct radiators and moist draft areas.
