Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Originating in late 19th-century Britain, Arts and Crafts ladderback seating emerged as a reaction against industrial mass production. Designers like Philip Webb and Ernest Gimson drew inspiration from traditional rural English furniture, emphasising handcraftsmanship, visible joinery, and functional honesty.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from native European hardwoods such as oak, ash, or beech. The seats are typically hand-woven using natural rush or sea grass, secured over turned wooden rails to provide flexible support.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, pegged construction, and hand-turned spindles. Look for subtle variations in the wood grain, hand-shaped back slats, and original rush weaving showing natural age-related wear.

Position the armchair as a standalone accent piece in a reading corner, hallway, or alongside a neutral sofa to add visual texture. Pairing organic wood tones and woven rush with modern minimalist decor creates an engaging balance between historical character and contemporary design.

Dust the rush seat regularly with a soft brush or vacuum attachment set to low suction. Avoid excess water exposure, but occasionally wipe the rush with a slightly damp cloth to prevent the natural fibres from drying out and snapping.
