This Charles II side chair dates from circa 1680 and comes in dark brown oak. The uprights and front stretcher display barley twist turnings, complemented by vertical slats in the backrest and a shaped crest rail with carved detailing along the top. Exposed pegged mortise joints connect the frame, and the polished timber surface shows natural grain variations and patination from age. The chair measures 115 cm high by 47.5 cm wide and 48 cm deep. Suitable as a decorative occasional seat or desk chair in a hallway, living room or bedroom, it brings traditional seventeenth-century character to an interior.

FAQs

Furniture from the Charles II era, also known as the Restoration period (16601685), typically features intricate spiral turnings such as barley twists, panelled construction, and heavy native oak timber.

Seventeenth-century chairs were predominantly crafted using joined construction, featuring mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs, alongside hand-lathed turnings and solid timber seat boards.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit signs of hand-planing, irregular wooden peg placement, natural shrinkage across the grain over time, and deep oxidisation within unpolished recesses and underside joints.

A single period oak chair functions effectively as a focal accent in an entryway, placed beside a minimalist writing desk, or contrasted against clean contemporary architectural backdrop.

To maintain antique oak, apply high-grade beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, position the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement, and dust regularly with a soft dry cloth.
