FAQs

Bobbin turning, also known as spool turning, is a woodworking style characterised by a series of repeating rounded, bead-like shapes produced on a lathe. Popular in the 17th century and revived during the Victorian era, this technique was frequently used for chair legs, backrests, and stretcher frames.

Victorian ebonised furniture typically utilised dense hardwoods such as beech, birch, or fruitwood, which were stained black to imitate ebony wood. Seats were commonly woven from natural rattan cane or upholstered in durable fabrics.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned or early machine-turned wood showing subtle irregularities, along with historical joinery techniques such as pegged tenon joints. Original ebonised finishes often show natural wear, revealing the lighter timber beneath around high-touch areas like armrests and footrests.

An antique childs high chair serves as a distinctive sculptural accent in an entryway, living room corner, or open-plan dining space. It can be displayed as a standalone decorative piece or used to elevate potted plants, textiles, or curated collectibles.

Dust the turned woodwork regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or water that can damage the ebonised finish. Woven cane seats require moderate humidity to prevent drying out; lightly wiping the underside with a damp cloth periodically helps preserve elasticity.
