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

Spindleback chairs are regional country seating defined by slender turned wooden rods, or spindles, arranged vertically between the top rail and mid-rail of the backrest. Originating predominantly in northern England during the 18th century, they feature turned front legs and solid wood or rush seats.

English country craftsmen primarily utilised native hardwoods such as oak, elm, ash, and beech. Construction typically relies on mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs, alongside lathe-turned legs and stretchers designed for structural stability.

Authentic antique examples exhibit hand-turned irregularities, signs of historical wear on the front stretchers from foot placement, and natural shrinkage in the wooden timber over time. Original joinery, undisturbed patination, and minor variations between individual pieces in a set also indicate age.

Spindleback chairs bring texture and historical character to modern dining spaces when paired with plain timber, stone, or minimalist metal dining tables. The open vertical lines of the backrest prevent small spaces from feeling visually heavy while adding contrast against contemporary backdrops.

Preserve the wood finish by applying a natural beeswax polish twice a year with a microfibre cloth. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources and high humidity fluctuations to prevent the timber from splitting or warping.
