FAQs

Window stools gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as homes were built with larger windows, creating dedicated seating spaces for reading or observing the outdoors.

Traditional upholstery from this era typically employed horsehair stuffing, linen calico foundations, webbing, and springs, supported by hardwood frames such as mahogany, walnut, or ebonised timber.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden components, traditional joinery methods, hand-stitched upholstery edges, and appropriate age-related patina on the timber and internal materials.

An antique bench can be positioned at the foot of a bed, beneath a large window, or used as extra seating in a living room, contrasting period woodwork with modern textiles.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, periodically vacuuming natural fabrics with a low suction attachment, and treating exposed wood with appropriate microcrystalline wax.
