Anthony Short Antiques has dated these George IV Mahogany Dining Chairs to the 19th Century.
The quality is excellent, and the design particularly attractive. The backs are pierced with fine fretwork, and the legs are double stretchered for extra stability. All chairs have drop-in upholstered seats, with the two carvers matching the six singles. The mahogany has a gorgeous colour and patina, and the original polish finish has been retained.
Each chair features a shaped and carved top rail with moulded uprights and a pierced, carved central splat; the armchairs also have shaped and moulded arms. This leads down to drop-in upholstered seats in a neutral fabric, currently in good condition (and easily re-upholstered in a fabric of choice if desired). The chairs stand on square moulded front legs with shaped corner brackets at the top, joined by a double H-stretcher, with splayed back legs.
The seat height is 48 cm. Generously proportioned, these chairs offer both comfort and aesthetic appeal, retaining their original colour and patina to the frames and ensuring they stand out in any setting.
In good condition and crafted in England circa 1830, this set of dining chairs is not only highly functional but also a superb representation of late Georgian design.
