This pair of side chairs dates from the 1920 period in the Queen Anne Revival style, constructed from warm brown timber with a pale upholstered seat. Each chair stands 86 cm high, 44 cm wide, and 44 cm deep. The design incorporates a shaped cresting rail displaying a carved motif at the top, a central vase splat back containing bookmatched satinwood, and a drop-in seat pad covered in light beige textile. The front view reveals elegant cabriole legs with detailed carving on the knees, terminating in well-carved ball and claw feet. The rear legs are slightly outswept to provide stability. Simple seat rails with rounded tops and shaped front friezes complete the frame. In a contemporary home, these side chairs suit placement around a dining table, in a study, or as occasional seating in a drawing room. The traditional British aesthetic fits comfortably within an English Country House interior setting, pairing well with antique or transitional furnishings while offering practical everyday seating.

FAQs

Queen Anne revival furniture, popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reinterprets early 18th-century English designs. Key elements include cabriole legs, splat backs, ball-and-claw feet, and clean, fluid silhouettes crafted from rich hardwoods.

High-end antique side chairs were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. These timbers provided the strength required for detailed hand-carving and structural joinery.

Authentic Whytock & Reid pieces often feature a stamped makers mark, metal plaque, or paper label bearing the Edinburgh firms name. They are also recognised by exceptional cabinetmaking, refined proportions, and distinctive Robert Lorimer design influences.

Side chairs can be positioned as accent seating in an entryway, flanking a console table, or used as head chairs at a modern dining table. Combining period timber framing with contemporary neutral upholstery balances traditional craftsmanship with modern decor.

Clean timber surfaces periodically with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain to maintain the patination. Keep furniture away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and address loose frame joints promptly.
