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 Gainsborough armchair is an 18th-century British upholstered open armchair featuring a broad seat, a tall backrest, and padded armrests supported by carved wooden uprights.

Dense mahogany was the primary timber utilised during the George III period due to its structural strength, rich grain, and suitability for detailed carving.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved mahogany frame elements, traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and expected oxidisation to the timber undersides.

These chairs function as statement accent seating in contemporary living areas, study spaces, or paired beside a fireplace when reupholstered in modern fabrics or kept in structural lining.

Dust the timber regularly with a clean cloth and apply beeswax periodically to preserve the natural patination, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
