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

Portuguese Rococo elbow chairs typically feature ornate pierced scrollwork splats, elaborated cresting rails, curved armrests, and cabriole legs inspired by 18th-century European furniture designs.

These chairs are commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring hand-carved joinery, intricate scrollwork, and drop-in upholstered seats.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed wood surfaces, traditional mortise and tenon joints, manual tool markings within the recessed carving, and natural oxidisation in the unvarnished joints.

A pair of carved armchairs can be styled as statement seating in a hallway, framing a focal wall, or used as carver chairs at the head of a contemporary dining table.

Intricate wooden carvings should be dusted with a soft brush and conditioned annually with beeswax, while fabric upholstery requires light vacuuming and delicate spot cleaning.
