FAQs

Originating in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, Chippendale furniture is defined by timber constructionpredominantly mahoganyincorporating elaborate pierced back splats, serpentine cresting rails, and cabriole or straight legs influenced by Rococo, Gothic, and Chinese design traditions.

Georgian chairs were constructed using solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany joined with traditional hand-cut mortise and tenon joints. Seats were typically constructed as drop-in frames or upholstered directly onto beech or oak sub-frames.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved detail, asymmetrical wear on structural components, dark oxidised timber on unseen areas, and irregular tool marks beneath the seat frame or on splat undersides.

A single mahogany carver chair functions well as a statement desk chair in a home office, an accent seat in a hallway, or positioned at the head of a dining table to contrast with contemporary decor.

Timber surfaces should be preserved with periodic applications of natural beeswax, kept away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage, and placed out of direct sunlight to prevent bleaching.
