This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
The warm colour and grain of the mahogany adds to their charm and character.
The seats are generously proportioned and traditionally upholstered, providing excellent comfort while maintaining the refined lines of the frames. The chairs stand on turned front legs with elegant back legs typical of mid-Victorian dining chair design.
During the Victorian period dining became an important social occasion within the home and chairs such as these were designed to accompany the large extending dining tables popular at the time. Their shaped backs and comfortable seats made them ideal for long formal dinners and entertaining guests.
A stylish and practical set which work beautifully around a dining table today while retaining their period character.
