Outstanding 17th Century Oak Lancashire Wainscot Chair

17th century
For Sale by Holmes Antiques
Description

An outstanding example of a late 17th Century Lancashire Chair in mint condition and of lovely untouched colour.

All parts are original and the pegs still in place, the chair tips up to reveal a fabulous golden colour and dry surface to the underneath of the original drop over seat. The botanical carving is crisp and deep and flows beautifully throughout the top rail and panel featuring tulips, grapes and roses. The chair has very little wear and stands remarkably tall on its feet having lost no height over the years.

Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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 chair is an early form of wooden armchair popular during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, characterised by a solid timber construction and a panelled backrest often decorated with relief carving.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from native solid oak using traditional joinery methods, such as mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs rather than metal nails or modern adhesives.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular oak peg construction, regional carving styles, and genuine dark patination accrued over centuries in areas of frequent contact.

Place the chair as a standalone sculptural feature in an entrance hallway, study, or living room, contrasting its heavy dark oak structure against neutral walls or modern minimalist artwork.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent splitting.
