FAQs

Lancashire chairs are characterised by their sturdy construction, typically featuring rush or straw seats and distinctive turned woodwork, originating from the northern county of England during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Authentic pieces are generally crafted from native hardwoods such as ash, oak, or elm for the frame, paired with hand-woven natural rush or seagrass for the seating pads.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-turned joints, the tightness and material of the rush weave, signs of natural wear, and tool marks indicative of traditional bodging and carpentry techniques.

These pieces provide textural contrast and organic warmth when paired with a sleek, modern dining table, bridging the gap between rustic charm and minimalist design.

Rush seats should be kept away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight. Cleaning is best performed using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum to remove dust, avoiding liquid cleaners which can rot the natural fibres.
