English 19th Century Mahogany Armchair

19th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century English Mahogany Library Armchair, In The French Hepplewhite Style, Having Central Set Carved Cartouche To Top Rail Over Upholstered Back And Seat With Elegant Carved Scrolling Arms Raised On Moulded & Carved Scrolling Cabriole Legs With Shaped Apron And Replaced Brass Castors.

This elegant chair is an English 19th Century take on a late 18th century French style of chair. The imitating of the fine French 18th century furniture makers styles was something which became relatively common within England for a period of the mid 19th century.

The chair is of good, bold, size for its style and is remarkably comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. It is constructed from a good grade of mahogany timber and the carved decoration has been very well executed. The chair has been relatively recently upholstered and covered and is therefore presented in excellent condition ready to go straight into the home. The castors to the front legs are also relatively recent replacements and therefore are also in good operational condition.

Although probably originally made as a salon chair and perhaps part of a pair we think it would be great in a whole host of places around the home now, due to its elegance and comfort.

Circa 1860.

Height 37in.

Width 25in.

Depth 26.5in

Seat Height 17.5in.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century English mahogany armchairs often feature rich wood carving, influenced by Rococo Revival and Victorian design, featuring cabriole or turned legs, padded armrests, and upholstered frames.

These chairs were constructed using solid mahogany wood frameworks, hand-tied steel coil springs, horsehair stuffing, brass casters, and woven textile upholstery.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative motifs, original brass brassware, mortise and tenon joinery, and natural age patina on the timber surfaces.

Positioning a single period armchair alongside contemporary minimalist seating creates architectural balance, introducing historic texture and warm timber tones to modern spaces.

Dust timber frames regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax occasionally to preserve the wood finish, while vacuuming fabric gently using a soft brush attachment.
