A Pair of Georgian Mahogany Side Chairs

18th century
Description

A good pair of Georgian period mahogany side chairs. The pair have camel backs with a pierced vase back splat. There is a nice moulded edge to the chair backs and they stand on tapered legs. The pair are in good condition with the odd knock as would be expected for furniture of this age. The drop in seats have been upholstered in charming wool needlework. The chairs both have a good untouched patina and colour. A great pair of usable period chairs with country house decorative appeal. C.1800.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Georgian side chairs, prominent during the 18th century in Britain, are defined by balanced proportions, intricate hand-carved back splats, and dense mahogany construction, frequently reflecting Chippendale or Hepplewhite influences.

Craftsmen primarily utilised dense West Indian or Cuban mahogany for its stability and fine grain, constructed with mortise and tenon joinery and fitted with drop-in seats upholstered in wool needlepoint or horsehair fabric.

Authentic period chairs feature hand-cut joinery, slight irregularities from hand-planing, original wooden dowels, and natural wood oxidisation along untreated internal frame surfaces.

These chairs can be integrated alongside a contemporary minimalist dining table to create visual contrast, or positioned individually as decorative accent seating in a study or hallway.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, applying beeswax polish once or twice per year, and keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and significant humidity fluctuations.
