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 Welsh turned chair, historically referred to as a thrown chair, is a piece of regional vernacular seating constructed primarily from turned timber components shaped on a pole lathe. Originating in rural Wales and Western Britain, these chairs feature mortise and tenon or socketed joinery without formal cabinetmaking joints.

Craftsmen typically utilised locally sourced native hardwoods such as ash, oak, fruitwood, or beech. These green timbers were turned using hand lathes and often coated in dark paint, ebonised washes, or linseed oil finishes to protect the wood grain.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned irregularities, signs of historical wear around the stretchers and armrests, and shrinkage consistent with green timber drying over centuries. Original joinery shows pegged construction, and surviving finishes display age-appropriate paint distress and oxidisation.

These sculptural seating options serve as structural accents in hallways, dining areas, or bedside placements. Modern designers contrast their dark, geometric silhouettes against minimal, plastered walls or layer them alongside soft textiles in traditional interiors.

Preserve original painted surfaces by dusting regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and keeping the items away from direct heat sources or high humidity. Avoid chemical solvents or abrasive polishes that can lift destabilised historic paint layers.
