The shaped serpentine top rail with leaf scroll carved ends . The armchair having shaped out-swept arms with carved eagles-head terminals . The arms having achieved an aged surface and colour commensurate with age , use and purpose.

Both chairs of bold scale and proportions, raised on carved cabriole forelegs with carved acanthus leaf and C-scroll decoration to the knees, onto claw-and-ball feet. The seats having drop-in pads with atmospherically worn period-style floral tapestry needlework covers .

In excellent original condition having a rich period-style colour and patina to the superior grade of selected mahogany , with no damage or repairs.

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Chippendale style, originating in 18th-century England and widely reproduced in the 19th century, is characterised by elaborate carving, pierced back splats, cabriole legs, and detailed motifs such as claw-and-ball feet.

Dense hardwoods such as solid mahogany were predominantly used for their durability and rich grain, combined with traditional joinery, hand-carved accents, and woven tapestry or needlepoint upholstery.

19th-century revival pieces often display signs of refined Victorian woodworking techniques, including circular saw marks on hidden areas, slightly heavier proportions, and uniform construction compared to earlier hand-planed timbers.

A carved mahogany armchair acts as a grounding accent piece when placed alongside contemporary minimalist desks, positioned in an entryway, or mixed with modern upholstered seating to create textural contrast.

Dust timber frames regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually, while cleaning fabric upholstery gently using a low-suction vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
