We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

A set of eight 19th-century Victorian dining chairs comprising two carver armchairs with curved armrests and six side chairs, constructed from dark mahogany with a rich colour and aged finish. Each chair has a balloon back with a carved top rail, deep red velvet upholstered seats, and carved cabriole front legs with scroll feet. The solid timber frame provides sturdy support for daily dining use around a formal dining table in a traditional or period home today. The set measures 91 cm in height with a seat height of 50 cm, a width of 50 cm, and a depth of 46 cm. These chairs offer practical seating for family meals and dinner parties, easily arranging around a dining table to complement period interior decor.

FAQs

Victorian balloon back chairs feature a rounded, continuous open back frame shaped like a hot air balloon, a style that became prominent during the mid-19th century.

Craftsmen typically constructed these chairs using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, paired with padded seats upholstered in velvet, leather, or damask.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original corner bracing beneath the seat rails, hand-carved detailing on the legs, and natural timber oxidisation.

Pairing Victorian mahogany balloon back chairs with a clean-lined contemporary dining table creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain timber surfaces by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a neutral beeswax polish annually, while keeping upholstery out of direct light to prevent fading.
