The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

P&O ocean liner chairs are maritime seating units manufactured specifically for passenger ships operated by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They featured revolving mechanisms and heavy bases designed to remain stable while at sea.

These chairs were constructed using resilient hardwoods such as teak or dense oak paired with heavy cast iron bases. The cast iron provided necessary ballast and strength, while the wooden upper structures featured carved detailing and carved monograms.

Authentic maritime chairs typically exhibit company crests or monograms carved into the back splat or stamped into the metalwork. They also feature heavy cast iron tripod or pedestal bases, often with screw holes used to bolt the chair directly to the ship deck.

Maritime swivel chairs serve as functional accent pieces alongside dark wood desks in a study or home office. Their industrial cast iron bases and timber uppers also complement modern urban lofts and traditional library environments.

Keep timber surfaces clean using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a neutral microcrystalline wax to protect the grain without altering the patina. Treat cast iron bases with a light application of oil or clear wax to prevent oxidation and keep the swivel mechanism lubricated.
