FAQs

Bobbin-turned furniture, featuring cylindrical shapes resembling spools of thread, gained popularity in the 17th century during the seventeenth-century revival movements and saw a resurgence in popularity during the Victorian era.

These items were traditionally constructed from native hardwoods such as beech, ash, or fruitwood, which were then turned on a lathe and frequently finished with an ebonised coating to imitate more expensive tropical woods.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-turned wooden components with minor irregularities, period-appropriate joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, and natural wear consistent with age.

A bobbin armchair serves as a strong focal point and can be paired with neutral upholstery and minimalist surroundings to highlight its sculptural turned wooden frame.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from warping, and dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth without applying harsh chemical polishes.
