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.

This set of twelve George II walnut dining chairs comprises two carvers and ten singles, fashioned from timber with a rich warm brown hue and a polished finish. Each chair stands 97 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 46 cm deep. The design incorporates head rails with scrolled acanthus leaf ears, central fan-shaped crests, and pierced splats decorated with carved 'c' scrolls and flowerheads. The carvers include generous, sweeping arms with scrolled ends, while all twelve pieces sit on cabriole legs with finely carved foliate knees that terminate in pad feet. Drop-in seats are fitted with vintage floral needlepoint upholstery displaying multicoloured wool patterns. These traditional dining chairs suit a formal dining room or a country house setting, providing ample seating for large gatherings around a dining table. The antique construction accommodates daily dining use, and the seating allows for customisation with alternative upholstery fabrics if desired. The visible woodwork shows minor signs of age and wear consistent with 18th-century craftsmanship, including natural grain variations in the walnut frames and subtle softening to the carved details.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century walnut dining chairs, prominent during the Queen Anne and George II periods, are known for their curved silhouettes, splat backs, cabriole legs, and drop-in upholstered seats.

These chairs were primarily crafted from solid and veneered figure-rich walnut, built around oak or pine sub-frames, and frequently fitted with hand-embroidered wool tapestry or needlepoint seat covers.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber shrinkage across seat rails, historical wear around foot rims, and genuine aged patina on untouched surfaces.

Pairing walnut dining chairs with a simple, modern dining table creates a striking visual contrast that highlights the rich timber grain and detailed carving of historical pieces.

Preserve walnut furniture by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying high-quality beeswax sparingly, and keeping the timber away from direct heat sources or high humidity.
