Good Set of 12 (10 + 2) Hepplewhite Style Mahogany Dining Chairs

1900 - 1920
Description

A very good set of twelve Hepplewhite style mahogany dining chairs, comprising ten standard chairs and two elegant carvers. Beautifully crafted from quality mahogany, the chairs display a wonderful rich patina and offer an excellent combination of refined design, comfort and traditional craftsmanship.

The chairs are raised upon elegant tapered front legs terminating in classic spade feet, with swept rear legs providing a graceful profile. The shield-shaped backs are particularly attractive, featuring finely pierced decoration and beautifully carved swags, complemented by delicate boxwood line inlays.

The chairs have generously proportioned stuff-over seats, providing excellent comfort for extended dining. The two carver chairs feature shaped arms with elegantly shaped supports, completing the impressive suite.

A highly decorative and versatile set, equally suited to a period dining room or a more contemporary interior where their timeless elegance and beautifully aged timber can be appreciated.

Presented in good condition, with a wonderful colour and patina

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.

FAQs

Hepplewhite style chairs, originating in late 18th-century England, are characterised by light proportions, shield-shaped backrests, and carved detail such as urns, wheat sheaves, or Prince of Wales feathers.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense mahogany wood, valued for its grain and strength, complemented by woven textile or leather upholstered seat pads.

Authentic designs feature distinct shield, heart, or oval back frames, slender tapered square or turned legs, and central splats that rise from the bottom rail without heavy solid backing.

A large set of mahogany chairs can be paired with a clean-lined modern wooden or stone dining table to create a balanced contrast against neutral walls and contemporary lighting.

Maintain timber framework by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth, applying high-grade beeswax along the grain periodically, and keeping upholstery shielded from direct sunlight.
