Pair of Fine Quality Late 19th Century Mahogany Open Armchairs in the Chippendale Style

19th century
Description

A pair of fine quality late 19th century mahogany open armchairs in the Chippendale style.

The unusual central splat with lattice design and foliate decoration with further foliate design below, the carved uprights consisting of floral and blind fret decoration and the shaped arms with carved foliate design.

This leading down to faux leather seats in a deep grey/green tone supported on square legs to the front with floral and blind fret decoration with outswept legs to the rear.

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

Chippendale style armchairs typically feature ribbon-back or pierced fretwork splats, serpentine top rails, gracefully curved arms, and sturdy cabriole or square legs. Originating in the 18th century, the style emphasizes mid-to-late Georgian carved detailing, often rendered in solid mahogany.

Late 19th-century Chippendale style seating is predominantly crafted from dense mahogany wood, valued for its fine grain and suitability for intricate carving. Seats were historically upholstered in leather, horsehair cloth, or silk damask, held in place with decorative brass studs.

Late Victorian and Edwardian revival pieces reproduce 18th-century forms with precise machine-assisted cuts finished by hand. Look for sharp fretwork carving, corner brackets on the legs, period joinery such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and subtle natural age wear along the armrests and base.

A pair of Chippendale carver chairs can be placed at the heads of a minimalist modern dining table to introduce texture and historical contrast. They also work exceptionally well flanking a fireplace, as library accent chairs, or behind a desk.

Keep mahogany frames dusted with a soft, dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the timbers patination. Clean leather upholstery with a damp cloth and apply dedicated leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking, keeping pieces away from direct heat sources.
