Set of Eight Hepplewhite Style Mahogany Lyre Back Dining Chairs, Circa 1930

1920 - 1940
Description

An elegant and decorative set of eight mahogany dining chairs, including two carvers and six side chairs, made in the Hepplewhite taste and dating to the first half of the 20th century.

The finely shaped shield backs incorporate particularly attractive pierced lyre splats, with carved foliate decoration and delicate vertical strings. The serpentine-fronted drop-in seats are upholstered in a neutral fabric, making them easily adaptable to a variety of interiors.

The chairs are raised on slender reeded and tapering front legs, giving the set a light and refined appearance, while the two carvers have gracefully shaped open arms.

A very attractive and practical set of eight dining chairs, drawing strongly on the elegant designs of the late 18th century and particularly well suited to a Georgian or traditional dining room.

Seat Height 47cm

English, circa 1930.

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.

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.

FAQs

Hepplewhite style chairs originate from 18th-century Neoclassical designs characterised by shield or lyre-shaped backs, elegant motif carving, and tapered fluted legs.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid mahogany, featuring hand-carved splats such as lyres or wheat sheaves, paired with upholstered fabric seats.

Look for crisp Neoclassical carving, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, fluted or square tapered legs, and rich mahogany grain consistent with period craftsmanship.

Balance dark mahogany wood tones by placing the set against a light neutral colour palette, paired with contemporary artwork and natural fibre rugs.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, nourish the timber annually with high-grade beeswax polish, and spot clean the upholstered seats using mild fabric cleaner.
