Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Nursing chairs were designed during the nineteenth century as low-seated, armless chairs intended to allow women to nurse infants or dress conveniently while seated close to the floor.

These chairs were crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, featuring turned timber legs, brass castors, and needlepoint, tapestry, or velvet upholstery.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved decorative splats or crest rails, original brass castors on turned front legs, low seat proportions relative to standard dining chairs, and traditional mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

A pair of nursing chairs can be placed in a bedroom bay window, alongside a fireplace, or within a hallway to add historical timber tones and textured upholstery to the room.

Timber frames should be treated with natural beeswax polish applied along the wood grain, while tapestry fabric should be gently dusted using a soft brush or low-suction vacuum cleaner.
