This set of eight Edwardian high-back dining chairs in the French Provincial style is constructed from oak and upholstered in beige fabric with brass stud trim. Each chair stands upon carved scrolled feet with pied de mouton legs connected by H-shaped stretchers, supporting a tall curved backrest. The visible upholstery shows wear and the chairs require recovering. The dimensions are 110 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 57 cm deep. Suitable for use around a formal dining table in a residence, these pieces provide seating for a dining room. Following reupholstering with a fabric of choice, the chairs function practically for daily family meals or hosting guests in a traditional interior setting.

FAQs

High-back French provincial chairs typically feature tall upholstered backrests, carved timber frames, and serpentine or scrolled stretchers and legs, originating from regional French cabinetmaking traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries.

These chairs are traditionally constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or beech for the framework, combined with traditional upholstery techniques including webbed support, natural padding, and brass stud trim.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved timber details, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber grain variation, and signs of wear along the stretchers and leg bases.

Pair high-back oak chairs with a contemporary minimalist dining table or a rustic timber table to create textural contrast, anchoring the space with a neutral wool rug and subtle brass accents.

Vacuum fabric upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment and treat timber components with natural beeswax polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and direct sunlight to protect both wood and textile.
