This set of six Regency dining chairs originates from Gillows of Lancaster around 1825 to 1835. Constructed from simulated rosewood and beech with a dark brown finish, the pieces exhibit robust joints and intact woven cane seats. Each chair has a bowed top rail featuring acorn knopps, an ornately carved centre rail with stylised acanthus leaves, and roundels on the front corners. The front legs are turned, reeded, and taper to a blunt point, while the rear legs take a plain sabre form. Measuring 83 cm high and 46 cm wide, these dining chairs provide classical seating for a formal dining room. Positioning these Regency chairs around a traditional dining table creates a refined arrangement for entertaining guests. The combination of simulated rosewood timber and intricate carved detail brings historical character to an interior. Buyers can also use individual chairs as decorative seating in a hallway, library, or bedroom setting. The sturdy construction and classic design suit both period properties and contemporary homes seeking authentic antique seating.

FAQs

Regency style dining chairs typically feature classical proportions, swept backrests, curved top rails, reeded turned legs, and decorative central splats influenced by Greco-Roman design principles from the early nineteenth century.

Makers frequently utilised hardwoods such as beech or mahogany, often finished with painted or stained simulated rosewood graining, combined with hand-woven natural rattan cane for the seating surfaces.

Authentic Gillows pieces are identified through signature construction details, such as precise reeded leg turnings, high quality timber selection, and maker stamps or impressions on the underside of the seat frame.

Antique cane dining chairs can be paired with modern wood or stone dining tables, adding organic texture through woven cane and visual weight through rich timber finishes.

Cane seating requires light periodic misting with water to maintain fibre flexibility, alongside gentle dusting with a soft brush to clear dirt without abrading the weave.
