FAQs

Seventeenth-century Lancashire chairs are characterised by their sturdy vernacular construction, high panelled backs, and often feature carved floral or geometric motifs typical of regional English cabinetmaking.

These pieces were traditionally built using native English hardwoods, predominantly solid oak, utilising pegged mortise and tenon joints for structural longevity.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-tool marks, traditional joinery methods, natural oxidisation, timber shrinkage patterns, and consistency of wear relative to age.

They work effectively as accent pieces in contemporary spaces, providing textural contrast and historical depth when juxtaposed against minimalist architecture or neutral walls.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sudden humidity fluctuations, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the timber without sealing the surface.
