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

Originating in the mid-19th century, balloon back chairs are characterised by a distinctive rounded, hoop-like backrest inspired by hot air balloon shapes. They feature flowing timber lines, open backs, and central carved crossbars, typical of Victorian design trends.

High-grade hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood were predominantly used for these chairs during the late 19th century. The frames were constructed using mortise and tenon joinery, paired with webbed and padded upholstered seats.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural grain variations inherent to walnut timber, along with hand-carved detailing on the backrests or splats. Look for signs of age-appropriate patina, hand-cut joinery underneath the seat frame, and cabriole or turned front legs.

Incorporating Victorian dining chairs into a modern dining space creates an eclectic contrast, particularly when placed around a contemporary timber or stone table. Reupholstering the seats in neutral or muted textured fabrics can further bridge traditional craft with modern aesthetics.

Dust the wooden frames regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax occasionally to nourish the wood and maintain its lustre. Avoid placing walnut furniture in direct sunlight or near radiator heat sources to prevent timber warping and cracking.
