FAQs

The lyre back design dates back to the neoclassical revival of the late eighteenth century, drawing direct inspiration from ancient Greek musical instruments and architectural motifs.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and traditional horsehair or cotton stuffing beneath upholstery.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, hand-forged or early machine-made fixings, and the natural wear patterns consistent with age on the wood and painted surfaces.

Pairing these historical seats with a minimalist modern dining table creates a striking juxtaposition, blending traditional craftsmanship with clean, contemporary lines.

Maintain these items by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, applying microcrystalline wax to the wooden frame, and using professional cleaning methods for the fabric.
