FAQs

Bobbin-turned furniture, characterised by cylindrical wood sections resembling spools or bobbins, gained popularity during the 17th century in England and Europe, experiencing revivals during the Victorian era.

These armchairs were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech, oak, or walnut, featuring traditional joinery and traditional stuffing materials like horsehair and hessian beneath the outer fabric.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden components with slight variations, period-appropriate joinery techniques, authentic wear patterns, and traditional hardware such as brass castors where applicable.

Pairing this historic seating with clean-lined modern furniture creates a balanced interior, allowing the distinctive turned wooden frame to act as a sculptural focal point.

Preserve wooden frames by applying microcrystalline wax sparingly, keep textiles away from direct sunlight, and consult professional conservators for repairs to traditional upholstery.
