The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A Turners chair, also known as a thrown or turned chair, is a traditional style of seating constructed entirely from wood components shaped on a lathe. Originating in the medieval period and produced through the 16th and 17th centuries, these chairs typically feature triangular seats and elaborate bobbin or ring-turned joinery.

These chairs are crafted using mortise and tenon joinery to connect turned wooden spindles, legs, and stretchers together without relying on metal fasteners. Dense hardwoods such as oak, ash, or fruitwood were predominantly used, resulting in heavy, robust geometric frameworks.

Authentic pieces feature turned spindles with slight variations from hand-lathe crafting, pegged joint construction, and age-related wear on the lower stretchers where feet rested. Carved geometric motifs on the backrest panel and multi-spindled frameworks are characteristic signatures of the style.

Position the triangular frame within an underutilised corner of a hallway, library, or living area to add architectural detail. Accentuate the dark timber tones with neutral textured textiles or place it alongside minimalist modern art for a high-contrast look.

Dust the detailed carvings regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and extreme moisture to protect the timber joints from expanding or contracting.
