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 wainscot armchair is a joined wooden armchair featuring a solid panelled backrest, constructed primarily in Britain during the 16th and 17th centuries.

These chairs were crafted from solid native oak using mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, incorporating turned front legs and panelled back framing.

Authentic period pieces display hand-hewn timber marks, irregularities in hand-turned spindles, historical wear on the front foot stretchers, and deep oxidation around original joinery.

Position the chair as a singular focal point in an entryway, library, or living room, allowing its architectural silhouette to contrast against clean, contemporary backdrop walls.

Apply a thin layer of high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, and preserve the timber by placing the chair away from direct radiators and humid environments.
