How do I care for a rush seat?

Keep rush seats dry and clean them gently with a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid excess water, which causes the natural fibres to rot. Maintain room humidity to prevent the dried grass from becoming brittle and snapping under regular weight.

Can I use these chairs every day?

Most antique country chairs remain sturdy enough for daily dining or occasional sitting when the frame and joints are secure. Check the timber periodically for movement. Heavier use suits solid ash and elm frames better than lighter decorative or ebonised reception chairs.

What is a Lancashire chair?

A Lancashire chair is a traditional regional type featuring high spindle backs and rush seating produced in northern English workshops. These items often display robust ash framing and multiple rows of turned spindles. Regional variations differ slightly in crest rail shaping and leg turning from southern English equivalents.

Are harlequin sets authentic?

Harlequin sets consist of individual chairs gathered from various sources that share similar heights, turnings, and materials. Country houses often accumulated seating in this manner over decades. Such sets offer a practical way to acquire larger numbers of matching period dining seats.
