FAQs

Lancashire rush seated chairs are regional English country dining chairs crafted with turned wooden frames and woven rush seats, produced extensively during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These chairs were constructed using local English hardwoods such as ash, oak, or beech for the framework, combined with natural freshwater rush woven around the seat rails.

Authentic period examples display hand-turned spindles, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, natural patination on the timber, and hand-woven rush showing age-appropriate wear.

A set of regional country chairs can be placed around a plain timber or modern dining table to introduce visual texture and historical contrast to interior spaces.

To preserve natural rush seats, keep them free from excessive moisture, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, and maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent the fibres from becoming brittle.
