Pair of Attractive Oak Occasional Armchairs C1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

A lovely pair of 1930s oak armchairs with some attractive features and sitting in good condition. These are of the kind of scale that will fit into so many spaces - garden room, lounge, kitchen diner, bedroom or bathroom. We have a well carved flower to the wide back splat, a pleasing little kick to the front legs, well turned lower supports and comfortable arms - a great pair.

Condition is good - we have two strong firm chairs with sprung bases to the seats and a woven floral damask fabric upholstery which is very presentable and usable - our upholsterer could replace at the cost of £90 per chair - you would require 1 metre per char of fabric which we can assist with sourcing swatches and choices, let us know when purchasing.

Price is for the pair.

A highly attractive and placeable pair of oak chairs.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Stylised low-relief flower carving on the splats: commercial machine-assisted decoration.
Slender baluster turned stretchers: standard factory turning rather than hand craftsmanship.
Slight kick outward to the lower front legs: fits revivalist chair designs.
Dark stain rubbed thin along the armrests: gradual wear from handling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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

These 1930s armchairs are constructed from dark brown oak with upholstered fabric seats. The interwar British style pairs a curved front leg shape, swept armrests, and turned stretchers with a carved floral splat motif on the back. The seats feature a light woven floral damask pattern in shades of green, peach, and cream. The frames measure Height 83cm x Width 57.5cm x Depth 55cm overall. Suitably scaled for daily use in a lounge, garden room, kitchen diner, bedroom, or bathroom, these chairs provide practical seating with sprung bases. The dark timber finish complements various interior schemes in an English Country House setting.

FAQs

Interwar British oak furniture from the 1930s frequently combined traditional revival elements, such as Jacobean turned stretchers and carved splats, with streamlined proportions suitable for modern homes.

Chairs from this era were typically constructed from solid oak or stained hardwoods, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery, padded drop-in or fixed upholstered seats, and turned wooden stretchers for structural stability.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate joinery, natural grain variation in the oak, subtle wear on the armrests and feet, and hand-finished carved detailing on the back splat or frame.

Vintage oak armchairs work well as flank seating beside a sideboard, as accent chairs in a reading nook, or positioned as carver chairs at the heads of a dining table.

Keep the wood frames away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage, apply high-grade beeswax polish annually, and vacuum the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
