This set of ten dining chairs dates from 1880 in the Victorian and Gothic style. Each chair is made from dark brown hardwood with faux bois carving, featuring an intertwined branch backrest and splayed legs. The seats are upholstered in blue velvet, showing a smooth, plush nap across the horizontal surfaces. The visible elements include carved branch motifs framing the open backrest, gently curved wooden frames, and tapered upright supports leading down to plain seat rails. Natural grain variations show through the dark brown timber finish of the wooden frames. Measuring 91 cm high, 44 cm wide, and 32 cm deep, these dining chairs suit placement around a formal dining table in a traditional or period-inspired interior setting. The compact footprint makes them practical for everyday seating around a dining table while providing a distinctive visual focus through the rustic branch-style woodwork.

FAQs

Faux bois, translating from French as false wood, is an artistic technique originating in the 19th century that mimics the texture and appearance of natural wood branches or bark. It became particularly popular during the Victorian era and early 20th century as part of naturalistic and rustic design movements.

Clean the carved wood frames using a soft, dry brush to remove dust from textured crevices, followed by a light application of beeswax polish applied sparingly. Vacuum the velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, brushing in the direction of the pile to prevent crushing.

A set of faux bois chairs provides textural contrast when paired with a contemporary dining table made of glass, marble, or smooth timber. Their organic silhouettes act as sculptural elements, bridging traditional character with modern interior design themes.

Authentic antique examples display hand-carved detailing with subtle variations in bark texture across individual pieces, rather than uniform moulded resin. Look for traditional joinery techniques, natural wear on high-touch points, and historical construction details beneath the seat frames.

Traditional faux bois seating features frames crafted from dense hardwoods such as oak, beech, or walnut, carved and detailed to simulate organic wood texture. The seats were traditionally upholstered using natural fillings like horsehair and covered in durable fabrics such as velvet, woven wool, or leather.
