FAQs

Ladder-back chairs have been a staple of British vernacular furniture since the 17th century, traditionally crafted by regional bodgers and rural joiners using locally sourced timber for everyday domestic use.

These pieces typically utilise turned hardwoods such as yew or ash for the frame, joined by mortice and tenon joints, and feature hand-woven rush or seagrass seating.

Authenticity is assessed through signs of hand-tooling, timber oxidisation, natural wear patterns on the footings, and traditional peg construction rather than modern metal fixings.

They add warmth and historical texture when paired with a contemporary minimalist dining table or used as eclectic accent seating in a modern living space.

Maintain them by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, occasionally feeding the wood with microcrystalline wax and keeping rush seats clean with a soft dry brush.
