FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement, flourishing from roughly 1880 to 1920, emphasised handcraftsmanship, traditional construction methods, and simple, honest forms inspired by medieval and vernacular styles, often rejecting mass-produced industrial manufacturing.

These pieces were typically constructed from native hardwoods such as ash, oak, or elm for the frames, paired with woven rush or seagrass for the seats, utilising traditional joinery like pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, hand-turned components, natural wear patterns on the wooden feet, irregularities in the hand-woven rush, and the absence of modern metal fasteners or contemporary glues.

They pair exceptionally well with minimalist dining tables to introduce texture and historical warmth, or function as standalone statement seating in a study to contrast with modern architectural lines.

Rush seats should be kept away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent brittleness, and cleaned gently with a dry brush or a barely damp cloth without harsh chemical detergents.
