What woods were used in these chairs?

Makers combined yew and elm for seats to provide strength and comfort. Spindles and bows typically utilised ash or fruitwood. This mixed-timber construction allowed each part of the chair to serve its specific structural purpose effectively.

Are these pieces made from solid yew?

While smaller items like tables and chairs often use solid timber, larger case pieces frequently employ burr yew veneers over oak or pine carcases. This technique displayed the decorative swirling grain across wide drawer fronts and table surfaces without destabilising the structure.

Where were these items made?

Production centred largely in English provincial workshops and regional centres such as the Thames Valley. Country cabinet-makers and chair bodgers sourced native timbers locally. Urban workshops also utilised yew for high-fashion London pieces during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

How do I care for yew wood surfaces?

Keep items away from direct sunlight and rapid temperature fluctuations to prevent timber movement. Apply quality beeswax periodically to nourish the grain and maintain the natural finish. Avoid using modern silicone sprays or abrasive cleaners on antique polish.
