This set of six Hepplewhite style dining chairs dates from 1880 and possesses a rich mahogany brown finish with a polished timber grain. Each chair stands on square tapered legs joined by H-stretchers and features a shield-shaped back enclosing a pierced splat with carved vertical details. The drop-in seats are upholstered in a cream patterned fabric. Measuring 90 cm high, 53 cm wide and 45 cm deep with a seat height of 46 cm, these chairs provide formal seating around a dining table in a traditional dining room. The sturdy framework and classic English country house aesthetic suit daily family meals or formal dinner parties. The polished wooden frames and neutral upholstered seats integrate smoothly with various interior colour schemes and timber dining tables.

FAQs

Hepplewhite style furniture originates from the late 18th century, designed by George Hepplewhite, and is characterised by light, elegant proportions, shield-shaped chair backs, and tapered straight legs.

Traditional pieces are typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood, often featuring pierced splats with carved motifs and upholstered seat pads.

Genuine period pieces usually display hand-carved details, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, original patination, and proportional lightness, contrasting with heavier Victorian reproductions.

Pairing traditional mahogany chairs with a sleek contemporary table creates a balanced, layered interior blending historic craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax periodically along the wood grain, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or cracking.
