Set of Four Antique Georgian Oak Ladderback Dining Chairs C.1800

18th century
Sold 13 January 2026 · Founders Antiques
This “Set of Four Antique Georgian Oak Ladderback Dining Chairs C.1800” found a buyer.

It was listed by Founders Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A characterful set of four late Georgian country ladderback chairs in solid oak, each with shaped back rails and hand-rushed seats, all standing on turned legs united by stretchers, the front with a characteristic waisted central turning typical of late Georgian country work. The oak has matured to a deep, even colour with the kind of surface quality only achieved through centuries of natural use.

Charming, authentic examples of English country furniture from the turn of the nineteenth century, these chairs retain their honest, practical character, the later rush seats are well fitted and comfortable, while the warm colour and tactile finish make them equally at home in a farmhouse kitchen or a more refined dining setting.

Presented in very good antique condition with the expected minor wear, historic repairs and colour variation consistent with age. Some evidence of long-dormant worm. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1800.

Price is for set of 4 chairs.

  • ObjectDining Chairs
  • Period18th century
  • StyleGeorgian Country
  • MaterialOak, Rush
  • ColourWarm Brown
  • MotifsHorizontal ladder slats, Woven rush seats, Turned front stretchers, Pegged joints
  • SizeH 99 cm (39 in) x W 49 cm (19 in) x D 46 cm (18 in)

Georgian ladderback chairs typically feature multiple horizontal slats across the backrest, offering ergonomic support and a classic, functional aesthetic rooted in 18th-century English country craftsmanship.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from solid hardwood timbers such as oak or ash for the frame, complemented by woven rush, straw, or split cane for the seat pads.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden components, pegged joinery, signs of natural wear, and hand-woven rush seats rather than machine-made uniformity.

They can be paired with a contemporary minimalist dining table to create a striking textural contrast, or used as accent seating in a kitchen to add historic character.

Maintain them by keeping them away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to protect the natural wood finish and prevent the woven rush from becoming brittle.
