The Hepplewhite style, originating in the 18th century, is characterised by elegant lines, light construction, and distinctive shield-shaped or heart-shaped chair backs often featuring delicate carving.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from quality hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood, frequently featuring upholstered drop-in seats covered in woven textiles or silk.

Authenticity is assessed by examining traditional joinery methods, such as hand-cut tenons and dovetails, tool marks, timber shrinkage, and the natural patina accumulated on the wood over centuries.

Pairing antique formal chairs with a minimalist or contemporary dining table creates a striking contrast, blending historical craftsmanship with modern clean lines.

Maintain the timber by keeping chairs away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood surface.
