Set of 6 Mahogany Hepplewhite Dining Chairs C.1870 – Georgian / George III Style Side Chairs, Horsehair Fabric Upholstery

Set of Six Late 19th-Century Mahogany Hepplewhite-Style Dining Chairs

A very good set of six late 19th-century mahogany dining chairs in the Hepplewhite revival style, dating to circa 1870–1885. Each chair features an elegant bowed top rail above a finely carved and pierced splat, centred by a wheat-sheaf crest and framed by flowing interlaced motifs and moulded borders. The frames are constructed in dense, well-figured mahogany with rich colour and good weight, reflecting the high standard of Victorian cabinetmaking in the revival of late Georgian neoclassical designs.

The chairs stand on reeded, square-tapering front legs with gently splayed rear supports, giving the set both refinement and stability. The seats are traditionally upholstered and covered in a high-quality dark blue horsehair fabric. A well-proportioned and visually appealing set, combining the elegance of Hepplewhite design with the durability and comfort expected of late 19th-century construction.

Also in stock is a matching pair of open dining armchairs from the same suite, with corresponding carved details and upholstery.

Condition:

A very good, well-presented set. Structurally sound with no loose joints. The mahogany frames retain their original polish with a warm, attractive surface; minor marks and small running repairs are present, consistent with age, but nothing structural. Upholstery is structurally strong and covered in quality horsehair fabric, showing light blemishes but remaining clean, presentable and ready for use. Carefully cleaned and waxed. As with all antique furniture, subtle signs of age and use contribute to the authenticity and character of the set.
