Antique English Edwardian Maple & Co Mahogany Shield Back Dining Chairs Set of 10

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb quality set of 10 antique Edwardian mahogany shield back dining chairs by the renowned London makers Maple & Co comprising 8 side chairs and 2 matching carvers. These elegant English dining chairs display exceptional craftsmanship and refined proportions throughout.

The shaped shield backs are beautifully designed with finely pierced and carved splats centred by carved shell detail terminals. The chairs stand upon elegant square tapering legs united by stretchers with the carvers having graceful shaped arms. The rich mahogany frames have a lovely warm colour and excellent quality throughout, exactly what you would expect from Maple & Co who were one of England’s finest cabinet makers and furnishers during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

The chairs have been newly upholstered in a tasteful quality fabric finished with decorative braid edging and are both comfortable and highly practical for everyday use. Their elegant shield back design allows them to work beautifully within both traditional and contemporary interiors.

A highly desirable set of genuine quality antique dining chairs by one of England’s most sought after makers.

Archival Detail
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.

Originated by cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite in late 18th-century England, shield back chairs feature an open frame shaped like a heart or heraldic shield, typically housing pierced vertical splats or fan motifs.

Edwardian dining chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, utilising traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-carved back splats and woven or upholstered seats.

Look for crisp hand-carved details, timber patination, natural wood grain variation on frame joints, and maker stencils or metal stamps from prominent firms such as Maple & Co.

Pairing dark mahogany chairs with contemporary light wood or stone tables creates contrast, while modern upholstery fabrics can balance traditional carved wood frames.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to preserve timber moisture, keep away from direct heat sources, and clean fabric upholstery with specialized upholstery cleaners.
