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 17th-century Welsh wainscot armchair is a joined timber chair constructed with a solid, panelled backrest and sturdy frame, typically using locally sourced native oak and occasionally insert panels of alternative timbers such as yew.

Joiners primarily utilised solid English or Welsh oak for structural components, joining panels with mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden dowels or pegs. Secondary native woods like yew, fruitwood, or ash were occasionally incorporated for decorative inlay or back panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular peg construction, natural timber shrinkage over time, and regional decorative details such as shaped crest rails, incised carving, and turned front supports.

A period oak armchair functions as an accent seating piece when placed alongside contemporary minimalist furnishings, anchored by neutral textiles or stone flooring to highlight the dark wood patination.

Historic timber surfaces require regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of high-grade beeswax polish. Environmentally stable conditions with controlled humidity prevent joint separation and wood movement.
