Set of 8 ( 6 + 2 ) Burr Walnut Queen Anne Style Dining Chairs.

1900 - 1920
Description

An exceptional set of eight (six plus two) burr walnut Queen Anne style dining chairs, showcasing outstanding craftsmanship, rich colour, and timeless elegance.

Each chair is raised upon beautifully formed cabriole legs, terminating in boldly carved ball and claw feet, with pronounced sea scroll detailing to the knees—executed with confidence and precision. The shaped backs are adorned with striking burr walnut veneers, displaying exquisite figuring and depth, enhancing the overall sense of luxury.

The two carver chairs feature elegant shepherd’s crook arms, offering both comfort and a commanding presence at the head of the table.

This distinguished set has been meticulously restored in our own workshops, including the expert re-upholstery of the lift-out seats, resulting in a presentation that is both refined and ready for immediate use.

A superb quality suite, combining decorative appeal with practical functionality, and presented in a beautifully mellowed tone that will complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Queen Anne style dining chairs are recognised by their curved cabriole legs, vase-shaped back splats, and pad or ball-and-claw feet. Originating in the early 18th century, this style emphasizes sinuous lines and natural timber figure, particularly walnut, over heavy surface carving.

Traditionally, Queen Anne furniture features native timbers like walnut, burr walnut, and fruitwoods, later progressing to mahogany. Construction typically includes drop-in upholstered seats, mortise and tenon joinery, and veneered back splats highlighting figure.

Authentic 18th-century pieces often display hand-sawn timber marks, wooden pegs in frame joinery, and natural wear patterns on feet and stretchers. Revival pieces from the late 19th and 20th centuries tend to feature machine joinery and modern veneer cut styles.

These chairs can be paired with a contemporary timber table or a marble dining surface to create contrast. Reupholstering the drop-in seats in contemporary linen or textured neutral fabrics can also update their visual appearance.

Keep walnut furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking and veneer lift. Regularly dust with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the wood finish.
