This set of eight Lancashire spindleback chairs dates from the George the 3rd period, presenting an English country rustic farmhouse style in warm brown oak and natural woven rush. The collection comprises six single side chairs and two carver armchairs, constructed with solid frames displaying a rich patina from age. Each piece incorporates turned wooden legs with rounded ball feet, horizontal ladder back rails fitted with vertical spindles, and curved open wooden armrests on the carver chairs. The hand-woven rush seats remain intact and sturdy. The set measures 94 cm high, 48 cm wide and 38 cm deep, with a seat height of 43 cm. These dining chairs provide practical seating around a large dining table in a country kitchen or traditional dining room, offering functional everyday use combined with historical character.

FAQs

Lancashire spindleback chairs are a traditional style of 18th and 19th-century English regional country seating, defined by multiple tiers of turned wooden spindles set into the backrest frame and fitted with woven rush seats.

These chairs were traditionally constructed from native British hardwoods, predominantly oak, ash, or elm, combined with hand-woven rush or sedge grass to form the seat base.

Authentic regional pieces display slight variations in hand-turned spindles, traditional mortise and tenon joinery with wooden pegs, hand-woven rush seating, and smooth wear on lower front stretchers from foot placement.

Spindleback chairs can be paired with a scrubbed pine or oak farmhouse table to accentuate a classic aesthetic, or placed around a simple modern timber table to contrast rich historical texture against contemporary lines.

Maintain rush seats by applying a light water mist once or twice a year to keep the natural fibres pliable, and clean the surrounding timber components with a high-quality natural wax polish.
