Description

A fine set of six mid Victorian balloon back dining chairs crafted in mahogany. Each chair features a curved back rail with a shaped and carved splat, over seats upholstered in a light neutral damask with a subtle floral pattern, all raised on particularly impressive reeded baluster-turned front legs.

Equally well suited to everyday dining and occasional entertaining, these chairs sit comfortably in both formal dining rooms and more relaxed period interiors.

Presented in very good antique condition with a warm aged patina and minor wear consistent with age. The upholstery is clean and serviceable, with some minor marks visible as shown. Structurally sound, clean, and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1860.

Price is for set of six chairs.

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

The balloon back style, prominent during the mid-19th century, features a continuous curved top rail and backrest shaped similarly to an inflated balloon, often supported by carved central splats.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense solid mahogany with hand-turned front legs, mortise and tenon joinery, and traditional drop-in or webbed upholstered seat pads.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut joinery, appropriate timber ageing such as oxidisation and patina, hand-turned elements, and absence of modern machine-made fasteners.

Pairing these traditional dark wood seats with a minimalist contemporary dining table creates a striking juxtaposition, blending historical craftsmanship with clean modern lines.

Maintain the timber by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity fluctuations, applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood and preserve the finish.
