FAQs

Corner armchairs, also known as roundabout or writing chairs, first appeared in England during the early 18th century, designed to fit snugly into the corner of a room or to be used at a writing desk.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, elm, or mahogany, featuring mortise and tenon joints and turned wooden elements like spindles or bobbin legs.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timbers patina, hand-cut joinery, type of screws or fixings used, and the natural wear consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

An antique corner armchair works well as a statement accent piece in a study, bedroom, or living room, paired with contemporary textiles to create an eclectic mix of old and new.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
