This set of eight George II dining chairs includes two carvers, originating from the 18th century. Constructed from warm brown burr walnut with shell-carved knees, the timber displays rich figuring and grain patterns. The design incorporates shaped vasiform splat backs, curved armrests, and drop-in seats upholstered in faded green fabric, supported on cabriole legs with turned H-stretchers. The frames remain tight and solid with visible signs of wear and surface use. Each carver chair measures 109 cm high and 67.5 cm wide. Suitable for formal dining rooms in a traditional home, these chairs provide seating around a dining table. They offer period character for daily meals or hosting dinner parties.

FAQs

George II style furniture, originating in mid-18th century Britain, is characterised by graceful proportions, carved cabriole legs, shaped vasiform splat backs, and rich walnut or mahogany timber veneers.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid walnut or beech carcass wood veneered with figure-rich burr walnut, joined via hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, often featuring drop-in seats framed in pine or oak.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, natural patination, hand-cut joinery, irregular construction lines beneath the upholstery, and authentic wear patterns on the stretchers and feet.

Pair period walnut dining chairs with sleek contemporary dining tables or minimalist interiors to create a striking contrast between historical wood figure and modern architectural lines.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish sparingly with a soft cloth, keep the timber away from direct heat sources or radiators to prevent veneer lifting, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels.
