Mahogany Chippendale 18th Century Armchair

18th century
Description

A Good Quality 18th Century, Chippendale Period, Georgian Mahogany Desk Chair, Or Armchair, Having Attractive Pierced And Shaped Splat To Back, Over Scrolling Arms And Drop In Seat With Old Needlework Tapestry Cover, Raised On Square Moulded Legs.

This chair dates to the Chippendale period of the 18th century and it can be narrowed down to this date based on the design of the back and square legs along with the quality of craftsmanship shown throughout and the rich mahogany timbers used for its construction.

Unlike many antique desk chairs it is of generous proportions, which in combination with the richness of the mahogany timber used and therefore the overall solidity of the chair, allows it to be used by just about anybody that so wishes. Certainly it is more than fit for original purpose.

The seat is covered with an old needlework tapestry cover. The needlework could well be original to the seat as it is certainly an old one, but it is impossible to be sure of this. There is a little wear to the needlework, with couple of very small spots which could be referred to as threadbare upon close inspection, but certainly there is nothing which is aesthetically displeasing in that respect. It would also be extremely easy and inexpensive, to have the seat reupholstered in any fabric of ones choosing of course due to the fact it is the drop in variety.

As with all items we offer for sale the chair has been inspected at our workshops by our highly skilled, traditionally trained, antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish, ensuring that it is ready to place immediately into the home or office, before being offered for sale.

Circa 1760.

Height 37.5in.

Width 26.25in.

Depth 24in.

Seat Height 18.5in.

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.

This 18th-century Chippendale period armchair is constructed from dark brown mahogany timber with a waxed finish. The seat contains a drop-in cushion upholstered in a floral tapestry cover featuring pink, yellow, and green needlework with minor threadbare spots. The piece incorporates a carved pierced back splat, a serpentine top rail, scrolling armrests, square channeled legs, and an H-stretcher. It measures 95 cm in height, 67 cm in width, 61 cm in depth, with a 47 cm seat height. Suitable for use in a study, library, or living room, the chair functions as a desk chair or an occasional seat. The sturdy frame supports daily sitting, while the drop-in design allows the upholstery to be easily changed if desired.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century England, Chippendale style furniture is characterised by solid mahogany craftsmanship, elegant structural proportions, and distinctive features such as pierced back splats, rococo scrolls, and gothic or Chinese design motifs.

Eighteenth-century armchairs were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany timber, featuring hand-cut joinery, mortise and tenon joints, and drop-in or fixed seats upholstered in woven tapestry, needlepoint, or horsehair fabrics.

Authentic period armchairs exhibit hand-cut dovetails, slight asymmetry in hand-carved details, natural timber oxidisation within the joints, and authentic wear along the lower leg stretchers.

Position the armchair as a standalone accent piece in a study or hallway, creating contrast by pairing rich dark mahogany tones with modern neutral wall colours and minimalist contemporary side tables.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Keep mahogany away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and finish degradation.
