The chair has developed a wonderful highly burnished glassy surface and rich warm colour and is enhanced by the addition of chevron inlay made in Bog Oak and Holly to the back legs. The seat boards are old replacements. The last image shows another we have in stock that can be bought separately but would make a nice pair, the two are undoubtably made in the same workshop.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

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 armchair constructed from solid oak, characterised by a panelled backrest, turned front legs, and joined frame construction typical of seventeenth-century England.

These chairs were constructed primarily from solid native oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, often featuring hand-carved decorative panels and turned supports.

Authentic regional examples feature distinct carving styles such as lozenge panels, scroll cresting rails, wooden peg construction, and uneven hand-planed surfaces with historical wear.

A carved oak wainscot chair serves as a standalone statement piece in an entryway, study, or living room, offering strong architectural silhouette and texture alongside contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality clear beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year while maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent timber movement.
