Antique Oak Carved Chair with Crewel Work Seat

19th century
Description

An early 19th century country made oak chair, which could perhaps be loosely described as 'Chippendale style’, with a beautifully carved back splat, and carved cabriole fore legs terminating in substantial ball and claw feet. It has a drop in seat upholstered in crewel work fabric from Coromandel Crewel. The design of the back splat is attractive and unusual, and the shape of the arm supports is rather pleasing.

Condition: Good condition through out with a nice colour and patina. There appears to be a split in one arm but it is stable. The chair is solid with minimal movement in the structure. The seat has been newly recovered.

The seat height is approximately 46cm

This early 19th-century country-made oak armchair follows a Georgian style. The dark brown timber displays a rich patina across its sturdy frame, complemented by cabriole forelegs ending in substantial ball and claw feet, a carved splat back, and shaped arm supports with a stable split in one arm. The drop-in seat pad is newly recovered in crewelwork fabric featuring embroidered details in green, yellow, brown, and white wools over a light background. Measuring 91 cm high, 59 cm wide, and 57 cm deep with a 46 cm seat height, it functions practically as a desk chair, a dressing table seat, or an occasional chair in a living room or study within an English Country House interior.

FAQs

A carver chair is an armchair designed to sit at the head or foot of a dining table, originating in eighteenth-century Britain to accommodate the person carving the meal.

These chairs are crafted from solid oak frames with hand-carved details, fitted with drop-in wooden seat pads upholstered in wool yarn embroidery over a cotton or linen backing.

Authentic period features include mortise-and-tenon frame joinery, hand-carved vasiform splats, cabriole legs ending in ball-and-claw feet, and surface patination from age.

A carved oak chair can be positioned as a standalone desk chair in a home study, or placed in an entryway or living room corner to add historic contrast to neutral modern decor.

Apply clear beeswax polish sparingly to the oak frame to preserve the finish, and gently vacuum the crewelwork fabric with a low-suction brush attachment to remove surface dust.
