1900 - 1920
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

We have a super quality set of six walnut Arts & Crafts style dining chairs by Scottish maker Joseph Johnstone of Lochwinnoch C.1910. The design number is stamped to the underneath of all the chairs.

The chairs by Joseph Johnstone have good solid well coloured walnut frames with tall backrests featuring modest moulded roundels to the top rail over attractively shaped slats and with square pommel tops to the rear stiles. The chairs are raised on square tapering front legs with a lightly flared foot, joined with wide H stretchers.

Condition is good with of course sensible day to day use however very solid and of pleasing old walnut tone. The seats are usable if you wish with a rust coloured short cut velvet. Our professional upholsterer could fully reupholster the seats including new webbing for £55 per chair plus VAT. You would require 2-2.5 metres of fabric for all 6 which we are happy to assist in sourcing, maybe a Morris fabric would look perfect? The choice of fabrics are endless and we are able to offer a full advice and swatch service.

A fine set of 6 Scottish Arts & Crafts dining chairs.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

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.

The Scottish Arts and Crafts style, popular from the 1890s to 1910s, combined linear geometry, subtle organic motifs, and exceptional joinery. Heavily influenced by designers like Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School, pieces emphasise elongated vertical lines, natural timber, and functional craftsmanship.

Edwardian and Arts and Crafts dining chairs were predominantly constructed from native hardwoods such as solid oak, walnut, or mahogany. Seats were typically upholstered in wool velvet, leather, or woven textile panels over horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces feature traditional mortise and tenon joinery, vertical back splats, geometric or carved roundel details, and exposed wood grain. Look for hand-finished timber patination, untrimmed structural joints, and proportions characteristic of early 20th-century design.

High-backed oak chairs pair effectively with minimalist contemporary tables made of glass, marble, or natural wood. Their strong vertical lines add architectural structure to modern dining rooms, while rich upholstery introduces texture and subtle colour contrast.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood and maintain its luster. Upholstered seats should be vacuumed gently using a fabric attachment and kept away from direct sunlight to reduce fading.
