This set of eight dining chairs dates from the 1900 period in an Art Deco style. Each chair is formed from lacquered wood in an off-white colour with ladderback rungs, drop-in seat pads upholstered in black fabric, and splayed rear sabre legs. The shaped backs hold three horizontal slats above the padded seats, while the front legs drop straight down from the seat frame. The dimensions of each chair are 97 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 53 cm deep. These chairs suit placement around a dining table in a formal dining room or a contemporary kitchen-diner. The off-white finish and dark upholstery provide a distinct contrast that complements various interior colour schemes. Each piece offers comfortable seating for daily meals or dinner parties while maintaining a unified aesthetic throughout the set.

FAQs

Ladderback dining chairs are defined by horizontal slats arranged along the backrest, creating a structure resembling a ladder. This design offers both visual lightness and ergonomic support, adapting across traditional, Mid-Century, and Art Deco styles.

Twentieth-century dining chairs often combine timber or lacquered frames, parchment, or veneer with woven fabrics, leather, or synthetic upholstery. Joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon ensure durability for daily usage.

Authentic period dining chairs exhibit uniform construction details, age-appropriate wear to the frames, and quality joinery under the seat frame. Makers marks or stamps on the underside of the seat rail also indicate origin.

Lacquered frames should be wiped regularly with a soft, microfibre cloth and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Fabric upholstery should be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and spot-cleaned using mild fabric cleaner.

A set of eight dining chairs can frame a large marble, glass, or timber dining table to create a balanced focal point. High-contrast upholstery complements monochromatic or contemporary interior palettes.
