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

Pioneered by Michael Thonet in the mid-nineteenth century, bentwood chairs utilised steam to bend solid beech timber into smooth, curved frames. This innovative industrial method allowed for mass production, making lightweight, durable seating accessible for cafes, restaurants, and private residences across Europe.

Traditional bentwood seating relies on solid beechwood softened by steam pressure before being shaped in iron moulds. The frames are secured with screws rather than traditional mortise and tenon joinery, often paired with molded plywood seats featuring pressed decorative motifs.

Authentic nineteenth and early twentieth-century examples often bear maker paper labels or heat-stamps on the underside of the seat frame, such as Thonet, Mundus, or Jacob & Josef Kohn. Look for original screw fixings, authentic steam-bent curves, and historical wear around the lower stretches.

Bentwood chairs integrate effortlessly alongside modern minimalist, rustic farmhouse, or industrial dining tables. Their open silhouette and organic curved lines soften strong architectural angles without overwhelming compact dining spaces.

Keep bentwood items away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent timber warping or glue failure. Clean surfaces using a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish.
