  • MotifsBalloon back, Cabriole legs, Carved mid-rail, Upholstered seat

This set of four Victorian dining chairs dates from circa 1880 and comes in warm brown walnut with pink upholstered seats. The frames display open balloon backs with carved mid-rails, shaped rails, cabriole front legs, and outswept back legs. The newly re-covered seats remain in excellent condition. Each chair stands 86 cm high with a seat height of 46 cm, a width of 46 cm, and a depth of 41 cm. Such seating suits a traditional dining room around a wooden table or acts as occasional seating in a drawing room or study. The walnut timber introduces warmth to an interior, while the pink fabric offers a soft textile accent against period furniture.

FAQs

Balloon back chairs are a quintessential 19th-century seating design characterised by a rounded, open seat back frame resembling the silhouette of a hot air balloon.

Dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood were predominantly used, constructed with traditional mortise and tenon joinery and finished with natural wax or French polish.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinctive walnut grain patterns, hand-carved decorative mid-rails, period-correct frame joinery, and natural patination along the legs and lower frame.

These chairs can be paired with a modern minimalist dining table to create visual contrast, or placed individually as accent seating in a hallway, bedroom, or study.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, dust regularly with a clean microfiber cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally along the grain.
