A Rare Pair of English 18th C Chippendale Period George III Armchairs.

18th century
Description

A most attractive and rare pair of high quality carved mahogany Chippendale period George III armchairs beautifully hand made with some fine and crisp details.

This handsome pair of chairs stands on square back chamfered legs with fluted and carved beaded decoration raised to small carved foliate brackets. The seats are upholstered in deep buttoned maroon hide finished with a double brass nailed boarder. The backs are most ornate with a carved and pierced central panel finished with a shaped and foliate carved crest rail supported on a tapered and moulded frame from which the serpentine shaped arms protrude with generous elbow pads and ornate foliate carved fronts on moulded and shaped supports.

This rare pair of high-quality 18th century English chairs are in very good original condition with firm joints and solidly upholstered seats. They are made from dense Cuban mahogany which has retained its original finish and benefits from a fine rich patina.

English, circa 1760

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.

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.

Chippendale period furniture refers to mid-to-late 18th-century English designs popularised by Thomas Chippendale, characterised by intricate pierced splats, elegant classical proportions, and fine mahogany carving.

George III armchairs were typically constructed from solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany, utilizing traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and corner blocks, often fitted with drop-in or close-nailed leather seating.

Authentic 18th-century pieces feature hand-sawn timber marks, original corner block construction, natural age-related patina, and hand-cut joinery rather than modern machine-made cuts.

Position these classic mahogany armchairs alongside a contemporary dining table to create visual contrast, or place them individually as statement seating in a hallway or study.

Keep timber and leather seating away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, and apply beeswax polish to the wood and dedicated leather balm to the upholstery periodically.
