This set of six Victorian dining chairs dates from 1860 and follows the English Country House style. Each chair is made from mahogany with a warm brown timber colour and features a balloon back with carved scroll motifs, a serpentine shaped reeded frieze, and shaped cabriole legs with scroll feet to the front alongside outswept back legs. The serpentine shaped seats are newly reupholstered in a crimson red velvet fabric. The timber shows a polished finish. Each chair measures 88 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 43 cm deep, with a seat height of 45 cm. These chairs serve as seating around a dining table in a formal dining room or kitchen. They also function as occasional chairs in a living room, study, or hallway when extra seating is required.

FAQs

Victorian balloon back chairs are characterised by a rounded, balloon-shaped backrest framing an open centre, popularised during the 19th century in Britain.

Typically crafted from solid dense timbers such as mahogany or rosewood, these chairs feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, carved scrollwork, and traditional stuffed upholstery.

Look for signs of hand-carving along the splat or back frame, hand-carved cabriole or turned legs, natural timber patination, and evidence of traditional upholstery construction beneath the seat.

Pair these mahogany chairs with a minimalist contemporary dining table to create an eclectic contrast between traditional woodwork and modern interior lines.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain annually to protect the timber, avoid placing near direct heat sources, and gently vacuum velvet upholstery with a brush attachment.
