This unusual set of eight Regency style dining chairs comprises two elbow chairs and six single chairs, dating from 1920. Each piece is constructed from wood with a golden brown faux birds eye maple finish, complemented by striped upholstery in cream and blue with a delicate floral motif. The design incorporates a carved rope twist top rail, a shaped carved centre splat, scroll open arms on the elbow chairs, and carved turned reeded tapering front legs paired with outswept back legs. The single chairs measure 94 cm high by 54 cm wide by 52 cm deep, with a seat height of 49 cm, while the elbow chairs measure 95.5 cm high by 58.5 cm wide by 55 cm deep, also with a seat height of 49 cm. These grand dining chairs provide sophisticated seating around a formal dining table in a traditional or period dining room. They suit interior settings that require a matched suite of antique chairs for daily dining or hosting dinner parties.

FAQs

Regency seating from the early nineteenth century often features classical design elements, including rope-twist cresting rails, scroll armrests, and turned legs. Faux painted finishes were applied to native hardwoods to mimic expensive imported timbers such as birds eye maple.

Chairs of this period were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech or pine, which were painted and glazed by hand to replicate timber grain. Seats were traditional webbing and horsehair construction, finished with textile upholstery.

Authentic period examples display signs of genuine wear along hand-painted graining where hands and clothing naturally rub the timber. Construction signs include hand-cut joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and subtle irregularities in the carved details.

A complete set of period chairs creates a focal point around a minimalist modern table or a traditional mahogany dining table. Re-upholstering or pairing warm timber tones with contemporary neutrals creates visual contrast in formal or modern dining spaces.

Clean faux-painted surfaces gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding solvent cleaners or abrasive polishes that can lift hand-painted glazes. Dust upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment and keep the chairs away from direct heat sources.
