FAQs

Georgian armchairs from the late 18th century are characterised by balanced proportions, solid mahogany construction, shaped splats, and curved armrests. Design influences from this period include Chippendale and Hepplewhite forms featuring square or tapered legs united by stretchers.

Primary timbers included dense West Indian or Cuban mahogany, valued for its rich grain and durability. Secondary timbers for internal framing often included pine or oak, while seats were traditionally webbed and covered in wool tapestry, damask, or leather.

Authentic Georgian chairs feature hand-cut joinery such as hand-sawn mortise and tenon joints, natural surface wear on lower stretchers, and original drop-in seat frames. Mahogany from this era exhibits a distinct weight, deep patination, and oxidisation unseen in modern reproductions.

A Georgian mahogany armchair can be placed alongside contemporary minimal furniture as a statement accent piece. Positioned next to a modern desk or in an entrance hallway, the timber warmth provides contrast against neutral walls and modern textures.

Timber surfaces should be dusted with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with a high-quality beeswax polish to preserve the patination. Direct sunlight and proximity to modern heat sources should be avoided to prevent wood movement or fabric fading.
