Description

A particularly beautiful set of eight quarter sawn oak chairs with a shaped central back splat, gently curved flanking splats and a serpentine curved top rail which has been relief carved with a diamond within a heart shape.

These chairs were almost certainly designed by E.A. Taylor and made by Wylie and Lockhead in c. 1900 and so are attributed as such. None are stamped.

All of the chairs are in very good original condition with only minor wear, dings and scuffs consistent with age and use. They are extremely robust with no movement and this is a very comfortable set if chairs – the tall shaped back with a gentle rake and curved splats.

The drop in seat pads are covered with a dark gold velvet, some pads with small marks and light wear but nothing significant and with no tears or holes.

There are a small number of very old woodworm holes on one chair – ib one of the seat rails at the side - where the chair has probably been sat up against a wall for many years. The worm is long since treated and dead on this one small section of timber, on only one of the chairs.

Lovely tapered legs terminating in chamfered and blocked feet.

A very high quality set of Arts and Crafts Oak chairs which have clearly always well cared for and in superb condition for age.

Dimensions are:

41 inches high, 21 inches deep, 18 inches wide. From floor to top of seat pad is 19 inches. The seat is 16.5 inches deep and 17.5 inches wide. The height of the back from the seat is 22.5 inches.

Date of Manufacture

Webberley Antiques has dated these Arts and Crafts Oak Chairs to the 1900s.

FAQs

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying appropriate natural beeswax.

Pairing historic wooden seating with minimalist modern dining tables creates a balanced contrast, highlighting the architectural lines and textural warmth of the antique timber.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-crafted joinery, distinctive geometric or stylized natural motifs, quarter-sawn oak medullary rays, and appropriate period aging rather than modern fixings.

Craftsmen typically utilised solid native timbers such as quarter-sawn oak, often featuring visible grain patterns, combined with traditional joinery like mortise and tenon.

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in Britain around 1880, championing traditional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and reform against mass-produced industrialisation.
