This pair of Victorian side chairs dates from 1850 in the English Country House style. Each chair is constructed from walnut with a warm brown timber finish and stands on shaped cabriole legs to the front and outswept back legs finished with white ceramic castors. The oval backrests and serpentine seats feature floral tapestry upholstery in shades of cream, pink, green, and blue, complemented by deep button-tufting on the backs. Elaborate carved crest rails and structural supports complete the design. Each chair measures 89 cm high, 59 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, with a seat height of 38 cm. These practical seating items suit a traditional living room, a bedroom dressing area, or a reading corner in a home today.

FAQs

Victorian salon chairs from the mid-to-late 19th century often featured Rococo Revival influences, characterised by ornate crest carvings, curved frames, button-tufted backs, and cabriole legs set on castors.

Frame construction predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, paired with traditional horsehair padding, coil springs, ceramic or brass castors, and woven upholstery fabric.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate joinery, original ceramic or brass castors, natural oxidisation on underside timber, and hand-carved decorative motifs rather than machine-moulded details.

Positioning a pair of period chairs as accent seating alongside modern upholstery creates balanced textural contrast in living spaces, hallway foyers, or bedroom dressing corners.

Clean polished timber frames with natural beeswax polish to preserve the wood finish, while keeping upholstered surfaces out of direct sunlight and cleaning gently with a soft brush attachment.
