This pair of antique elm Lancashire style spindleback country chairs originates from 1850 and displays an English Country Vernacular design vibe. Rendered in a dark brown timber finish, each chair includes a double-tiered turned spindle backrest, a woven rush seat, and a turned front stretcher. Visible details comprise turned feet, a central baluster on the front stretcher, and traditional joinery construction showing age-related wear to the woven seating. The largest chair measures 99 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 33 cm deep, with a seat height of 41 cm. These rustic farmhouse side chairs function practically around a kitchen or dining table today. They integrate smoothly into country house, cottage, or eclectic interior schemes as supplementary seating. Placed against a wall, they offer functional utility combined with period charm in a hallway or study. Their durable elm construction and woven rush materials suit everyday residential use while maintaining their antique character.

FAQs

Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources to prevent the rush fibres from drying out, dust the timber regularly, and apply a neutral beeswax polish to protect the wooden finish.

They can be paired with contemporary or scrubbed timber dining tables in kitchen spaces, or utilised individually as side accent seating in minimalist corridors and bedrooms.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-turned spindles with minor dimensional variations, hand-cut joinery, wear on lower front stretchers from foot placement, and natural patination across the timber surfaces.

These chairs were historically constructed using native British hardwoods such as elm, ash, or oak, combined with hand-woven freshwater rush stems for the seat bases.

Spindleback rush seat chairs are regional English vernacular seating designs, prominent from the eighteenth century through the nineteenth century, characterised by vertical turned spindles set into the backrest and woven natural rush seats.
