Georgian 18th Century Pair of Side Chairs

18th century
Description

A Good Quality Pair Of 18th Century Mahogany , Georgian, Hepplewhite Period Side Chairs, Having Shaped Top Rails And Elegant Pierced Splat Backs With Crisply Carved Decoration, Over Upholstered, Bowed Drop In Seats, Raised On Square Chamfered Legs And Stretchers.

A very good quality pair of georgian hepplewhite period side chairs which ooze elegance and sophistication from the simplicity of their design.The backs are delicately, but richly carved and the bowed seats are another nice feature.

They are absolutely perfect for many, many places around the home or office, far too many to list here in fact. But to mention just a few, we think they would be great in a bedroom, entrance hall or even on a landing. Its also worth bearing in mind that they are perectly functional as proper dining chairs.

As with all items which we offer for sale they have been inspected in our workshops by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers, plus received a natural wax polish to ensure that they are ready for immediate placement within the home before being offered for sale.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Dense dark mahogany with fine grain: typical timber imported during the late eighteenth century.
Hand-carved wheatear and husk motifs: pierced decoration done with chisels and gouges.
Square front legs with chamfered inner corners: classic George III cabinet construction.
Mortise-and-tenon joints secured into the seat rails: traditional eighteenth-century framing.
Softened contours and darkened wax on top rails: age and long handling.

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.

This pair of 18th-century Georgian side chairs hails from the Hepplewhite period, constructed from dark brown mahogany with a wax polish finish. Each chair features a serpentine crest rail with carved decoration, elegant pierced splat backs, and light green upholstered drop-in seats above bowed front rails. The frames stand on square chamfered legs joined by supportive stretchers. The height measures 96.5 cm, the width is 50.2 cm, and the depth is 50.8 cm, with a seat height of 44.5 cm. Suitable for everyday use, these versatile chairs function effectively around a dining table, in a bedroom, or within an entrance hall or landing. Their traditional silhouette integrates seamlessly into period interiors as well as classic English country house schemes, offering practical seating combined with historical design.

FAQs

Georgian side chairs from the 18th century are characterised by balanced proportions, carved splats, and sturdy frame joinery. Design influences from Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite often features pierced back designs, serpentine top rails, and square or tapered legs.

Primary woods included dense Cuban mahogany and English oak, valued for durability and rich grain structure. Traditional joinery utilised mortise and tenon joints, while drop-in seats were padded with natural materials such as horsehair and cotton batting.

Authentic period chairs display irregular hand-cut saw marks, hand-carved details, and original pegged timber joinery. The underside of the seat frames typically shows natural ageing, oxidation of the wood, and hand-planed surfaces rather than uniform modern machine cuts.

These chairs function well placed on either side of a console table, used as accent seating in a hallway, or placed at an office desk. Pairing historic carved timber frames with modern minimalist backgrounds creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Maintain the wood finish by applying a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or fabric fading, and spot clean upholstery with suitable fabric treatments.
