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

George II side chairs, produced between 1727 and 1760, are defined by their carved walnut frames, elegant splat backs, and cabriole legs. This period marked a transition toward elaborate Rococo motifs, featuring shell carvings, acanthus leaves, and claw and ball feet.

Craftsmen used solid walnut or walnut veneers applied to oak cores, using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery. Seats were frequently drop-in or padded over the frame, trimmed with brass studs, and supported by hand-carved legs.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as irregular saw marks on unexposed timber, wooden pegs, and natural patination on the walnut frame. The carving on cabriole legs and splats will show detailed hand-tooling rather than machine symmetry.

These chairs function as accent pieces in modern interiors, working as hallway seating flanking a console table or as end chairs at a contemporary dining table. Combining timber antiques with clean-lined modern architecture creates a balanced contrast.

Clean walnut frames regularly using a soft, dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood finish. Keep timber seating away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying, cracking, and fading.
