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 Glastonbury chair is a type of wooden armchair inspired by a medieval design found at Glastonbury Abbey, popularised during the 19th-century Gothic Revival movement.

Glastonbury chairs are traditionally crafted from solid oak or walnut, featuring an X-frame structure assembled with wooden peg joinery and decorated with carved panel backs.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved Gothic motifs such as quatrefoils or pointed arches, visible wooden pegged joints, and historic timber patination on the oak.

Positioning a pair in an entrance hallway, library, or alongside a contemporary console table creates an architectural focal point that grounds modern interiors.

Dust surfaces regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually, keeping the chairs away from direct radiators or damp conditions.
