Pair of Oak Framed Armchairs New Cushions C1920

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

Great looking pair of English oak reclining armchairs with attractive newly caned sides, turned arms, well endowed frames and new deep piped cushions in a Braemar wool herringbone fabric in burnt clementine shade. These not only look good but are also comfortable to sit in.

Condition is good - the frames are tight, weighty with historic day to day wear but nothing fresh. We have lightly waxed the frames and ensured the chairs are ready for placing. They can be reclined by way of moving/removing the dowel at the rear of the seats, an easy task.

A handsome pair of oak armchairs English C1920.

Dimensions

Overall: Height 90cm to Cushion Top x Width 72cm x Depth 88cm and 105 when fully reclined

Seats: Height 36cm to Cushion Top x Width 58cm x Depth 54cm

Declaration

Billy Hunt & Co. has dated these Pair Oak Cane Armchairs to the 1920s.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

FAQs

Armchairs from the 1920s often draw on Jacobean Revival and Arts and Crafts influences. They typically feature heavy timber frames, dark stain finishes, spirally turned supports, and woven cane panel inserts.

Seating from this era was predominantly constructed using solid oak, utilizing traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Side panels frequently featured natural woven rattan cane, while loose seat and back cushions were supported by drop-in spring or webbed bases.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand or early machine-carved barley twist turnings, original dark varnish or wax finishes showing natural age patina, and woven cane panels set into recessed timber frames. Construction markers include pegged joints and hand-fitted frame components.

These structured armchairs can be incorporated into modern settings by pairing dark oak tones with light neutral wall palettes. Reupholstering cushions in contemporary textured fabrics, such as terracotta or linen, balances historic woodwork with current design schemes.

Oak frames require routine dusting and occasional application of natural beeswax polish to maintain wood hydration. Cane panels should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent brittleness and can be lightly dampened periodically to maintain flex.
