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

A corner chair, also known as a roundabout chair, originated in the early 18th century during the Georgian period. Designed with a diagonal square seat and a curved backrest, it allowed sitters to fit neatly into room corners or beside writing desks.

Cabinetmakers primarily used native hardwoods such as oak, fruitwood, walnut, and ash. Construction relied on mortise and tenon joinery, hand-turned spindles, and carved legs secured with wooden dowels.

Authentic period pieces display hand-hewn joinery, hand-planed surfaces, and natural timber oxidisation on unseen undersides. Key design features include shaped vasiform splats, a prominent front cabriole leg with a pad foot, and turned stretchers.

Place the chair in a study, reading corner, or hallway to introduce historical character. Combining the rich wood tones with neutral upholstery creates an effective contrast alongside contemporary interior elements.

Position timber furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and splitting. Regular dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and an occasional application of clear beeswax polish will protect the historic patina.
