Antique George III Quality Sheraton Set of Eight Dining Chairs

18th century
Description

A superb quality set of eight George III Sheraton dining chairs comprising six singles and two carvers, crafted in fine mahogany. Each chair displays elegant reeded curved backs with a central turned roundel, typical of Sheraton’s refined neo-classical aesthetic.

The frames are beautifully shaped, with gently swept back legs and well-proportioned turned and reeded front legs, all standing sturdy and true. The set has been newly reupholstered in a tasteful patterned fabric which complements the warmth of the mahogany.

Condition

The chairs are in excellent condition for their age, the mahogany frames standing sturdy with no looseness or movement. The reeded backs and turned legs remain crisp and well defined, showing only minor age-related surface marks consistent with genuine period use. The seats have been newly reupholstered, offering a clean and comfortable finish. Overall, a very well-preserved and ready-to-use set.

This set of eight George III Sheraton dining chairs comprises two carvers and six singles made from fine mahogany. The dark brown timber frames display reeded curved backs, central turned roundels, gently swept back legs, and well-proportioned turned and reeded front legs. The seats are newly reupholstered in a cream fabric with a small-scale geometric repeating pattern. Each single chair measures 86.5 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 43 cm deep. Suitable for formal dining rooms, these seating pieces provide traditional English country house style around a dining table. The mahogany frames show minor age-related surface marks consistent with genuine period use, while the reeded backs and turned legs remain crisp and well defined. The new upholstery provides a clean finish ready for daily use.

FAQs

Sheraton style dining chairs, originating in late 18th-century England, feature refined neoclassical proportions, straight or gently curved lines, and slender turned or reeded legs. They frequently incorporate back designs such as lattice work, reeded rails, or geometric splats.

Georgian cabinetmakers primarily used dense mahogany timber for structural stability and detailed carving. Seats were traditionally upholstered using natural woven fabrics over horsehair padding, supported by traditional mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

Authentic George III chairs demonstrate hand-cut joinery, patinated mahogany surfaces with natural oxidation, and hand-planed secondary timbers underneath. Original frames frequently display historic construction marks and evidence of period upholstery methods.

Pairing a set of mahogany chairs with a modern minimalist or marble dining table creates a balanced contrast between historic timber craftsmanship and contemporary lines. Neutral seat upholstery preserves the architectural silhouette while adapting to modern colour schemes.

Maintain mahogany seat furniture by dusting regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and applying a beeswax polish along the grain once or twice annually. Keep timber chairs away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent wood movement and fabric fading.
