Walnut

Walnut is a hard, dense, tight- grained wood that polishes to a very smooth finish. It is a popular and attractive wood whose colour ranges from near white in the sapwood to a dark hew in the heartwood. When dried in a kiln, walnut wood tends to develop a dull brown colour, but when air-dried can become a rich purplish-brown. Because of its colour, hardness and grain, it is a prized furniture and carving wood. Walnut veneer was highly priced and the cost would reflect the ‘fanciness’ of the veneer – the more decorative, then the more expensive and desirable.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Turned and fluted legs: typical French revival cabinet work.
Moulded X-stretchers with turned central finial: solid construction before mass factory methods.
Period metal castors on front feet: original late nineteenth-century fittings.
Soft wear to the walnut edges: decades of handling and cleaning.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

  • StyleFrench Chateau
  • MaterialWalnut, Leather, Brass
  • ColourBlack, Warm Brown

This set of twelve nineteenth-century French Chateau style dining chairs consists of solid walnut frames with a warm brown timber finish and high rectangular backrests upholstered in black leather. Each piece displays brass stud trim around the seat and back, tapered turned legs with castors, and moulded X-frame stretchers beneath the stuff-over seats. Individual chairs measure 96.5 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 53 cm deep. Suitably proportioned for a large traditional dining room, this substantial group provides ample seating around a formal banquet table. The neutral black and warm brown colour palette integrates readily into diverse interiors, pairing well with timber dining furniture in both classic and contemporary spaces.

FAQs

Chairs from this period frequently feature solid hardwood frames, such as walnut, paired with high rectangular backs, hand-turned legs, stretchers for stability, and leather upholstery detailed with decorative brass studding.

These chairs are constructed from solid walnut timber, genuine leather upholstery, brass stud fittings, and brass castors affixed to the front legs.

Authentic pieces demonstrate traditional joinery techniques, natural age-related patina to the walnut frame, hand-carved turning, and traditional stuffing materials beneath the upholstery.

A set of dark leather chairs adds visual weight and historical depth when paired with a contemporary oak or stone dining table, balancing modern minimal aesthetics with classical craftsmanship.

Dust walnut frames regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax nourishers periodically. Treat the leather with specialised hide food to prevent drying, keeping the chairs away from direct heat sources.
