This set of six Regency dining chairs dates from circa 1820 in the 19th century. Made from ebonised wood with brass elements and fabric upholstery, the suite displays a black and gold colour scheme with a yellow tone on the drop-in seats. Each chair stands on sabre legs and includes a carved rope-twist top rail paired with a central brass lyre splat. The timber frame carries an ebonised finish while the joinery incorporates moulded details. Individual chairs measure 84 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, with a seat height of 45 cm. These dining chairs suit placement around a formal dining table for daily meals or special gatherings in a traditional home interior.

FAQs

Regency dining chairs, dating from the early 19th century, feature classical motifs inspired by Greco-Roman architecture. Common design elements include sweeping sabre legs, curved top rails, rope-twist carvings, and central splats shaped like lyres or urns.

Craftsmen typically used native hardwoods such as beech or fruitwood, which were stained black and polished to imitate expensive imported ebony. Brass mounts, inlay, or painted accents were frequently added for decorative contrast.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved construction, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and natural age-related wear to the painted or stained surface. The ebonised finish often displays slight variations in colour tone where handling has softened the finish over centuries.

These dark, structured chairs pair well with simple modern dining tables made of contemporary wood or glass. Their clean classical silhouette allows them to serve as striking focal points in minimalist, transitional, or eclectically styled dining rooms.

Ebonised surfaces should be dusted regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, spirit-based solvents, or excessive moisture, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the historic finish.
