  • Styling Notes

    A japanned wicker-backed tub chair adds texture and character to an interior while remaining compact and versatile. It works well as an occasional chair in a living room, bedroom, or reading corner, where the woven back introduces warmth against darker woods or lacquered furniture. Pair it with a small side table, ceramics, or a floor lamp to create a relaxed seating vignette. The oriental revival influence also sits beautifully alongside chinoiserie pieces, decorative screens, or botanical elements such as palms or orchids.

Collapsible content

Are your antiques authentic?

Yes. All pieces are genuine vintage or antique items sourced individually. Age-related wear is expected and described honestly in each listing.

What condition should I expect from antique furniture?

Antiques often show signs of age such as surface wear, small marks, or minor repairs. These details form part of the character and history of the piece and will be noted in the description.

Do you offer delivery for antique furniture?

Yes. Delivery options are available across the UK. Larger pieces may be shipped via specialist couriers to ensure safe transport.

Can I return an antique item?

Returns are accepted in line with our shop policies. Please review the returns information before purchasing or contact us if you have questions.

Can I reserve an item?

Occasionally we can hold items for a short period. Please get in touch if you would like to reserve a piece.

Will antique furniture work in a modern home?

A single antique chair, mirror or candlestick can add depth, craftsmanship and historical texture to a room while balancing more minimal or modern furniture.
