19th century
Description

A rare early 19th century (circa 1830) English Regency ebonised and gilt side chair.

This highly decorative chair consists of an curved back rail with ebonised and gilt decoration with carved scroll design leading down to a finely carved foliate and scroll design.

The upholstered backrest and seat finished in a red velvet fabric which is in good condition with curved ebonised and gilt seat rails with carved foliate design to the front corners, the back of the chair also upholstered in the red velvet fabric, the curved ebonised and gilt seat rail continuing around the back, seat rail stamped with ‘4861’ and hand painted initials, possibly ‘DW’.

The chair is supported by ebonised and gilt turned, carved and tapered reeded legs to the front with carved gilt collar and original castors, the reeded and tapered out swept back legs with finely carved ebonised and gilt stylised leaf decoration to the top.

A pair of very similar chairs can be seen in the book ‘BRITISH FURNITURE 1820 to 1920: The Luxury Market’ by Christopher Payne, page 75 - this pair of chairs are very similar in style painted in a white and gilt finish, these chairs thought to have been part of an extensive suite commissioned for Goldsmiths’ Hall, London by Philip Hardwick and made by the cabinet maker ‘William & Charles Wilkinson’.

This chair is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

English Regency seating from the early 19th century reflects neoclassical influences, often incorporating classical Greek and Roman motifs, ebonised finishes, and delicate parcel gilding.

Makers utilised dense hardwoods such as beech or mahogany painted with black ebonised lacquer, embellished with gold leaf gilding, brass castors, and rich textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved classical details, natural wear on gilded high points showing dark bole beneath, turned or reeded legs, and original joinery techniques such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in a bedroom, place it beside a writing desk, or integrate it into a living space paired with clean-lined modern furnishings.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or feather duster, keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and avoid chemical solvents or water on the gilded and ebonised surfaces.
