FAQs

A Gainsborough chair, also known as a library chair, is a wide, deep-seated armchair featuring a high rectangular back, padded armrests, and exposed carved timber supports, originating in 18th-century England.

These chairs were traditionally crafted using solid mahogany or walnut for the exposed frame, horsehair padding for internal upholstery, and woven fabrics such as damask, velvet, or needlepoint.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, raked rear legs, mortise and tenon joints, and natural patination on the exposed mahogany supports alongside period-appropriate leg shapes such as cabriole or square-cut Marlborough legs.

A Gainsborough chair functions as an accent piece in a contemporary study or living room when positioned alongside clean-lined neutral upholstery, balancing traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting with a soft cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically, while keeping the upholstered fabric clean using a brush vacuum attachment away from direct sunlight.
