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 drunkards chair is a term for an exceptionally wide-seated armchair produced during the 18th century. The broad proportions were designed to accommodate wide coat tails, voluminous clothing, or a relaxed seated posture.

Georgian armchairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany and solid oak. Upholstered seats typically utilised horsehair padding covered in wool tapestry, leather, or silk fabrics.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, along with subtle irregularities from hand-planing and carving. Look for natural patination in protected areas and original saw marks on the frame underside.

A wide mahogany armchair functions well as a focal accent piece in a modern study, hallway, or living space. Re-upholstering the seat cushion in a neutral or geometric fabric bridges the gap between historical woodwork and contemporary decor.

Apply a beeswax polish sparingly to the wooden frame once or twice a year to preserve moisture and lustre. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading.
