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 lambing chair is a traditional British country armchair, typically crafted from oak or pine, featuring enclosed winged sides and often incorporating a drawer beneath the seat. Originating in Northern England and Scotland during the 18th century, these heavy chairs were designed to protect shepherds from cold draughts while tending to newborn lambs indoors.

Lambing chairs were traditionally constructed using native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm, joined with peg and mortise-and-tenon joinery. The design commonly features a raised panel back, solid winged sides, shaped armrests, and an integrated box base or drawer for storage.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-hewn oak timber with pegged joinery, irregular construction marks, and natural wear patterns on the armrests and base. Look for original drawer construction with hand-cut dovetails or simple nailed joints, alongside historical oxidisation in the wood grain.

Place the chair near a fireplace or within an open-plan living area to create a characterful focal point. Pair the dark oak timber with textured linen cushions, neutral wall palettes, or contemporary brass floor lamps to balance historic craft with modern interior design.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Avoid placing the chair near direct heat sources or high humidity to prevent timber movement and splitting.
