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 backstool is an early form of single chair without arms, originating in the 16th and 17th centuries as a stool fitted with a wooden backrest. Common in regional English furniture making, particularly in Lancashire and Yorkshire, these pieces feature solid oak construction, panelled backs, and turned legs.

Chairs from this era were crafted using joinery techniques, featuring mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden oak pegs. They typically utilised English oak timber with solid planked seats, moulded rear panels, and hand-turned front stretchers and legs.

Authentic period chairs display signs of hand-tooling, such as adze marks on unexposed surfaces, irregular peg distribution, and natural shrinkage across wood grain lines. Regional details, including shaped cresting rails and fielded panels specific to areas like Lancashire, also indicate genuine origin.

These structured wooden chairs work well placed as hall seating, flanking a console table, or paired with a contemporary dining table to introduce historic texture and patina to modern or rustic spaces.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent the oak panels from splitting.
