Band International have recently introduced a new style of banqueting chair into its bentwood range: the antique finish. The well-established Camelot chair is best known for its limewash finish, which has enjoyed huge success with rental companies and venues and huge popularity with end users. Apart from looking great, this distressed finish also requires virtually no maintenance. As a result, the Antique finish is now available in gold, silver and copper and has the same maintenance-saving properties as the limewash chair.

Antique effect finish for wedding and banqueting chairs

The process of applying and removing paint creates the Antique finish. It is used primarily on the Camelot wedding chair thanks to the notches and grooves which host the distressed look particularly well. Unlike methods used by cheaper imitations, whereby paint is sponged on and off, Band International’s elaborate painting process ensures a consistent and high quality finish on every chair. Paint powder is rubbed into the bare wood, removed so that only residual traces are left in the notches and grooves. A lacquer seal then completes this laborious process. Gold and silver wedding chairs are always in demand for glamorous occasions, whilst the limewash chair gives the option of a neutral colour. The antique finish offers a low-maintenance version whose paint matches the longevity of the chair itself. 

Low-maintenance wedding and banqueting chair

The antique effect described above has advantages over traditionally painted chairs: This finish does not chip or scratch and therefore never requires repainting or respraying. As a result, a Band wedding chair in a low-maintenance finish can often look new when in fact it is already 5 years old. For this reason, it is welcomed and enjoyed by rental companies and venues for whom maintenance is a costly issue. The only maintenance this finish should involve is an occasional wipe to remove shoe scuff-marks from the bottom of the legs.

Value for money

Feedback from our hire customers who have experience of the limewash chair indicates that a Band International banqueting chair in an antique finish will save a significant amount to the rental company or venue, ensuring their profits stay in their pockets. With a quality chair that is designed to last well over 10 years and next to no additional maintenance costs, the Band antique chair will

• Earn £45 – £50 p.a. (UK figures)
• Cost £0 to maintain

Thus a Band wedding and banqueting chair in an antique finish should pay for itself 10 times over.
