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 Georgian elbow chair, also known as a carver or open armchair, features curved armrests designed to support the elbows. Typically originating from the 18th to early 19th century, these chairs display classical proportions, turned or tapered legs, and decorative painted or carved splats.

Georgian artisans commonly constructed painted furniture using native hardwoods such as beech or fruitwood, which provided a smooth grain for priming. Pigments were painted by hand with floral or musical motifs and sealed, while seats were upholstered in woven tapestry or silk damask.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery, slight asymmetry in construction, and natural age wear on painted areas where hands and elbows rested. Look for genuine surface craquelure and traditional webbed seat framing underneath.

A Georgian elbow chair functions well as an accent piece in a study beside a writing desk or placed in an entryway corner. Set against neutral walls, the painted detail and patterned upholstery act as an artistic focal point.

To protect hand-painted surfaces, position the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent paint flaking and wood movement. Dust gently using a clean, dry microfibre cloth without commercial chemical sprays or water.
