This set of ten George II dining chairs comprises eight side chairs and two armchairs, constructed from walnut with a warm brown timber colour and featuring burr walnut splats. The design incorporates vasiform back splats, shaped top rails, and drop-in seat pads upholstered in tan leather. The two armchairs have shaped arms ending in shepherd's crook terminals. The framework includes moulded fore-edges on the seat rails, simple friezes, slightly outswept square back legs, and cabriole front legs with quarter blocks, carved knees, and pad feet. Each chair measures 99 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 50 cm deep. These chairs suit formal dining rooms, traditional libraries, or spacious reception spaces, providing practical seating around a large dining table. The traditional English country house style integrates well into heritage interiors or period properties. The sturdy walnut construction and leather upholstery offer durability for regular family meals or formal entertaining, while the classic silhouette complements antique dining tables and complementary seating arrangements.

FAQs

George II dining chairs, popular during the mid-18th century, feature splat backs influenced by vasiform designs, balanced proportions, and carved cabriole legs.

High-grade figure-grained timbers such as walnut and mahogany were predominantly used, paired with fitted seats upholstered in leather, needlework, or woven fabrics.

Authentic period pieces exhibit traditional construction techniques including hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural surface patination, and age-consistent wear to leg terminals.

Pairing a large set of Georgian walnut chairs with a modern minimalist table creates an engaging contrast between historical timber craft and contemporary lines.

Dust regularly using a dry cloth and apply natural beeswax annually, while maintaining steady ambient humidity to avoid timber movement.
