This pair of Regency side chairs originates from early 19th-century England and belongs to the Regency period. Constructed from pine, they are finished in an original dark brown paint scheme featuring simulated bamboo turning throughout the frames. Each chair includes a spindle backrest, a woven rush seat, and box stretchers between the legs, displaying visible wear to the painted surface along the legs and frame joints. The chairs stand 81 cm high, 41 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. Suitable for use in a dining room, hallway, or living space, these side chairs complement traditional English country house interiors. Their sturdy construction and original rush seats provide practical seating options while maintaining their period character.

FAQs

Regency painted chairs originated in Britain during the early 19th century and are characterized by lightweight frames, simulated turnings such as faux bamboo, and painted or ebonised finishes designed to imitate exotic woods or materials.

These chairs were typically constructed from indigenous softwoods or hardwoods such as pine, beech, or birch, which were then painted or lacquered. Seats were commonly woven from natural rush or cane.

Authentic Regency chairs display period joinery techniques, natural surface patination, unevenness from hand-turned components, and signs of historic paint wear, particularly along high-contact points like seat rails and legs.

These versatile seating pieces can be styled as accent chairs in a hallway, placed at either end of a contemporary dining table, or utilised as bedroom corner chairs to provide historical texture.

Maintain painted timber by gently dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or excessive moisture. Preserve rush seats by keeping them away from direct heat sources to prevent the natural fibres from drying out and snapping.
