Impressive Set of 20 (18 + 2) Elm Queen Anne Style Dining Chairs

1900 - 1920
Description

An exceptional and highly impressive set of twenty Queen Anne style elm dining chairs, comprising eighteen side chairs and two carvers. A substantial suite of chairs of considerable presence, offering an outstanding opportunity to furnish a large dining room or entertaining space in true period style.

Beautifully crafted from richly figured elm, the chairs are raised upon elegant Queen Anne style legs, incorporating boldly carved knees, graceful pad feet and a particularly attractive carved shell motif to the front rail. The combination of the warm, figured elm and beautifully executed carving gives the suite an exceptionally rich and distinguished appearance.

The shaped backs feature broad central splats displaying wonderfully figured elm timbers, providing both visual impact and excellent support. The two carver chairs are particularly impressive, having elegant shepherd's-crook arms supported by finely shaped uprights.

The chairs have recently been reupholstered throughout in a quality fabric, providing a fresh and luxurious finish whilst retaining the character and charm of the traditional design. The generous proportions and comfortable lift-out seats make them ideally suited to both formal entertaining and everyday dining.

In the style of the celebrated cabinet-maker Giles Grendey, this remarkable suite possesses the elegance, scale and craftsmanship associated with the finest Queen Anne inspired furniture.

A rare and highly desirable set of twenty matching chairs, offering exceptional scope for a grand dining room and certain to create a striking impression around a substantial dining table.

Presented in good condition and ready to grace an impressive interior.

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.
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.

Queen Anne style dining chairs feature graceful serpentine curves, vasiform back splats, cabriole legs, and often incorporate carved shell motifs along the aprons or knees.

These chairs were historically crafted from native hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and figured elm, using mortise and tenon joinery for structural stability.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-saw marks on secondary woods, irregular hand-cut joinery, authentic age patination, and wear patterns consistent with historical usage.

Pairing classical Queen Anne chairs with a contemporary minimal dining table or updating the upholstery with contemporary fabrics creates a balanced contrast between traditional form and modern aesthetics.

Maintain the wood surface by applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain twice yearly, and position the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
