Antique Edwardian Inlaid Mahogany Settee

19th century
Description

A charming and very beautiful antique Edwardian inlaid mahogany settee, dating from around the 1880-1910 period.

It is beautifully designed and is of very fine quality. It is a lovely, compact size and is perfect for use as an entry bench, window seat or even at the foot of a bed. The solid mahogany frame has stunning curves and satin wood inlays throughout, it stands on tapered legs with fanned carving at the knees. There is also lovely pierced fretwork at the top of the back rest.

We have had the frame re-polished, it has been newly upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent for its age, with only some very minor historical wear beneath the polish on the frame here and there.

Width – 46 inches , 117 cm

Depth – 22 inches , 56 cm

Height – 31 inches , 79 cm

Seat height – 16 inches , 41 cm

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.

Edwardian settees, produced between 1901 and 1910, are characterised by lighter, more delicate proportions than their Victorian predecessors. They frequently feature refined mahogany frames, subtle geometric inlay or marquetry, curved crest rails, and tailored fabric upholstery designed for formal drawing rooms.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilized dense mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood frames joined with traditional mortise and tenon timber work. Detail ornamentation often incorporated contrasting boxwood stringing inlay, horsehair padding, metal coil springs, and cast brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative cresting, fine boxwood or satinwood line inlay, tapered square or turned legs, and original brass cup castors. The framing typically displays subtle curvilinear silhouettes that bridge late Victorian revival styles and Art Nouveau influences.

Positioning an antique settee alongside contemporary art or minimalist decor creates an engaging visual contrast. Using neutral upholstery shades such as cream or linen allows the dark timber frame to anchor a hallway, bedroom bay, or open-plan living space without overwhelming modern aesthetics.

Dust the polished wood surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain twice a year. Keep timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, and clean fabric elements using specialized upholstery attachments or professional dry care.
