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 Gainsborough chair is a wide, high-backed armchair originating in eighteenth-century England, named after artist Thomas Gainsborough who frequently depicted similar seating in his portraiture.

These chairs are traditionally constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, featuring padded leather or woven upholstery secured by brass stud detailing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved solid timber frames, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural patination to the leather or upholstery, and original brass castors.

Position the chair in a study, library, or living room alongside a simple side table and reading light, allowing its substantial proportions to anchor a contemporary space.

Dust the leather surface regularly with a dry cloth, apply a specialised leather wax or conditioner annually to prevent drying, and position the chair away from direct heat and sunlight.
