FAQs

Preservation involves keeping the chair away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber and natural rush from drying out, cleaning only with a dry cloth, and avoiding excessive moisture.

This seating style can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with minimalist decor, using it as an accent piece in a living room, or placing it beside a sleek desk to create textural contrast.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-turned joinery, tool marks, timber shrinkage, the patina of the wood finish, and the construction methods used in weaving the rush seat.

These chairs are predominantly constructed from native British hardwoods such as oak, ash, elm, or fruitwood for the frame, combined with woven natural rush or straw for the seat pad.

A Lancashire spindle back armchair is a traditional regional English seating style characterised by a high back fitted with multiple vertical turned wooden spindles and traditionally constructed with a rush or straw seat.
