This 18th century Georgian armchair is constructed from dark brown mahogany with a lift out seat upholstered in a cream patterned fabric. The piece exhibits a serpentine crest rail, a vase-shaped splat back, curved armrests, and straight chamfered legs. Measuring 102 cm high, 71.5 cm wide, and 57 cm deep with a seating height of 46 cm, the chair provides generous proportions for everyday use. Position this seating option in a traditional living room, a study, or a home office to bring classic English country house style to the interior. The sturdy construction and classic silhouette allow it to function as a comfortable desk chair or an occasional seat.

FAQs

Georgian armchairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, predominantly mahogany, characterised by serpentine crest rails, splat backrests, and curved arm supports.

18th-century Georgian chairs were built using dense Cuban mahogany or native timber, assembled with hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery alongside upholstered drop-in seats.

Authentic Georgian armchairs display hand-carved details, irregular hand-saw marks on the undersides, natural timber oxidisation beneath the seat frame, and signs of historical wear on foot stretchers.

A Georgian armchair functions effectively as an accent piece in a contemporary study, paired alongside a modern writing desk or positioned in a hallway alcove.

Maintain antique mahogany furniture by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying beeswax once or twice a year, and keeping the frame away from direct heat sources.
