Description

A very elegant pair of antique English mahogany dining side chairs dating from the Regency period, early 19th century. The chairs are designed in the desirable Klismos form, with beautifully curved sabre legs and a shaped back rail decorated with fine ebony line inlay and distinctive Greek key corner detail.

The gently curved back supports and shaped rear legs create the graceful classical profile associated with Regency furniture inspired by ancient Greek design. The front legs also sweep elegantly, giving the chairs refined proportions.

The seats are upholstered in a neutral striped fabric. One seat is slightly lighter in colour than the other. Most buyers purchasing a pair of chairs prefer to reupholster them to suit their own interior and we would be happy to reupholster the seats for the cost of the fabric only, or alternatively we can supply fabric from our own stock free of charge.

A particularly stylish and decorative pair of Regency mahogany chairs displaying elegant classical lines and attractive inlaid detail.

FAQs

The klismos chair design originates from ancient Greek art and experienced a significant revival during the Regency period in early 19th-century England, driven by a fascination with classical antiquity and neoclassical design principles.

Authentic Regency chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like solid mahogany, often featuring fine craftsmanship such as curved backrests, sabre legs, and joinery typical of the period, frequently paired with traditional upholstered drop-in or webbed seats.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber ageing, hand-cut joinery, patination, tool marks, and construction techniques consistent with early 19th-century cabinet making, distinguishing them from later 20th-century revival pieces.

These chairs pair effectively with minimalist or contemporary dining tables to create a striking contrast between classical silhouettes and modern clean lines, adding architectural interest and historical depth to a space.

Antique mahogany should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, maintained with microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone polishes, and kept in stable humidity conditions.
