FAQs

A Cockpen armchair is a style of seating featuring open geometric lattice work, heavily influenced by Chinese design aesthetics and popular in British furniture making during the mid-to-late 18th century.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany, utilising mortise and tenon joinery alongside intricate hand-pierced fretwork for the backrests and arm panels.

Authentication relies on examining the timber grain, tool marks from hand-cutting, traditional construction methods, and the natural oxidisation and patina accumulated on the wood over centuries.

The architectural fretwork allows this chair to function as a sculptural statement piece, pairing well with minimalist modern furnishings to highlight its historic geometric patterns.

Preserve the timber by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone polishes.
