Pair of Inlaid Mahogany Settees

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb and highly unusual pair of Edwardian mahogany bedroom settees of elegant curved form, beautifully decorated with finely executed satinwood and boxwood inlay throughout. The shaped backs centred with outstanding marquetry panels featuring scrolling foliate decoration, classical urns and birds, creating a particularly decorative and refined appearance.

The graceful tub shaped frames with sweeping arms and generously proportioned seats offer excellent comfort, whilst the slender cabriole legs are further enriched with delicate inlaid detailing to the knees and friezes. The rich mahogany veneers retain a wonderful warm colour and attractive mellow patina throughout.

Recently upholstered in a tasteful neutral fabric which complements the rich timber tones and intricate marquetry decoration perfectly. A rare and elegant pair of Edwardian bedroom settees, ideal for a bedroom, dressing room or reception space.

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.

Edwardian and Art Nouveau settees from the early 20th century often feature sinuous, organic lines combined with fine woodwork. They typically display decorative marquetry inlay on central splats, elegant sweeping armrests, and upholstered seating tailored for formal drawing rooms.

These pieces were primarily crafted from dense mahogany or rosewood framing, accented with intricate marquetry inlays utilising boxwood, satinwood, or mother-of-pearl. The frames featured mortise and tenon joinery, topped with traditional horsehair-stuffed upholstered seats.

Authentic Edwardian furniture displays precise hand-cut inlay work rather than printed transfers, smooth hand-cut dovetails on joinery, and natural wood grain variation under a shellac or French polish finish. Original pieces also show genuine age-related wear on contact points such as foot bases and armrests.

A pair of inlaid settees can be positioned symmetrically across a low coffee table to anchor a modern living area or reception room. Pairing their rich mahogany timber with contemporary neutral textiles or minimalist decor highlights the detailed craftsmanship without cluttering the space.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking and inlay lifting. Dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the lustre.
