FAQs

George III seating, dating from 1760 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, refined timber choice such as mahogany or walnut, and detailed splat backs often influenced by Thomas Chippendale.

Eighteenth-century Scottish chairmakers frequently utilised native and imported hardwoods including walnut, mahogany, and oak, often paired with drop-in seats upholstered in needlepoint or wool tapestry.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber shrinkage over time, hand-carved details, and historical wear patterns along the stretchers and leg bases.

A Georgian side chair serves as a functional accent piece when positioned beside a hall table, incorporated into a mixed dining set, or placed at a contemporary writing desk.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly, while keeping needlepoint upholstery free of direct sunlight and gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.
