This pair of nineteenth century Chinese Chippendale side chairs is constructed from dark brown mahogany with original upholstered drop-in seat pads covered in a multi-coloured floral tapestry fabric. Each chair stands on square-section legs decorated with carved blind fretwork, reinforced by an H-stretcher, and features an intricate pierced back splat beneath a pagoda-style crest rail. Minor areas of damage and slight movement in the joints of one chair are present. The dimensions are 96 cm high, 56 cm wide, 56 cm deep, with a seat height of 46 cm. These side chairs suit placement around a formal dining table in a traditional interior, or as decorative seating in a study or hallway. Their classic English Country House aesthetic brings historic character to both period properties and contemporary settings needing antique seating.

FAQs

Chinese Chippendale furniture combines traditional mid-eighteenth-century English cabinetmaking with Chinoiserie motifs, featuring lattice patterns, blind fretwork, and pagoda-inspired crest rails.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, utilizing mortise-and-tenon joinery, carved pierced splats, and corner brackets for frame stability.

Look for crisp hand-carving, detailed blind fretwork along the legs, drop-in seat frames, and evidence of timber age such as natural oxidation on unpolished undersides.

Place them alongside a sleek modern dining table to create visual contrast, or use them singly as hall chairs or desk seating.

Dust regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators.
