Leeds Antiques has dated this Georgian Walnut Side Chair to the 18th Century.
A good mid-18th century English walnut side chair, c.
The chair has a shaped crest rail above a finely proportioned pierced vertical splat back, set between shaped rear uprights, giving it a light and elegant appearance.
The lower section retains a pleasing earlier character, with cabriole front legs, shaped front rail and rounded pad-style feet. The chair is constructed with a traditional drop-in seat, later upholstered in a patterned fabric. The walnut has a warm, mellow colour with good age, surface and patination, giving the chair an honest decorative presence.
A very usable period chair, well suited as an occasional chair, bedroom chair, desk chair or as part of a mixed group of early English seating.

Width: 57 cm / 22 1/2 inches

Condition:
Good condition overall. The chair is structurally sound, with no loose joints and no significant signs of damage or repairs. There is some old worm, most noticeably to the back right foot, but the leg remains structurally secure. The bottom surface of that foot is a little uneven. The drop-in seat is structurally sound. The fabric cover is later and has some marks. There are the expected old marks, wear and minor surface blemishes commensurate with age and use.
